Help with physics homework! The magnitude keeps turning out as 9.34 m.?

2018-02-14 12:09 pm
In a second contest, the three displacements given are 70.6 m , 51 degrees west of north; 15.7 m straight north; and 90.7 m, 43 degrees south of east. What magnitude does the winner calculate for the displacement to find the keys to the Porsche?

I know that the resultant vector is found with the 3 displacements by adding their x/y components. I need to find magnitude of the resultant and the angle of the resultant (in degrees south east) Please show the steps.

x-component of the resultant displacement
= [70.6 cos(90° + 51°) + 15.7 cos(90°) + 90.7 cos(-43°)] m
= 11.5 m

y-component of the resultant displacement
= [70.6 sin(90° + 51°) + 15.7 sin(90°) + 90.7 sin(-43°)] m
= -1.73 m

Magnitude of displacement
= √[(11.5)² + (-1.73)²] m
= 11.6 m

displacement d1:
70.6 m ; 51° WoN
d1y = d1*cos 51 = 70.6*0.6293 = 44.430
d1x = -d1*sin 51 = -70.6*0.7771 = -54,867

displacement d2:
15.7 m ; N
d2y = 15.7
d2x = 0

displacement d3:
90.7 m ; 43° SoE
d3y = -d3*sin 43 = -90.7*0.6820 = -61.857
d3x = d3*cos 43 = 90.7*0.7314 = 66.334

Y = d1y+d2y+d3y = 44.430-61.857+15.700 = -1.727
X = d1x+d2x+d3x = -54.867+66.334 = 11.467
total displacement D :
D = √X^2+Y^2 = √1.727^2+11.467^2 = 11.60
heading = arctan(Y/X) = arctan -1.727/11.467 = -8.57 ° (8.57° SoE)

North component of 1st. displacement = (cos 51 x 70.6) = 44.43m.
Add to that the 15.7m. north component, = total north of 60.13 metres.
South component of 3rd. displacement = (sin 43 x 90.7) = 61.86 metres.
Net south movement = (61.86 - 60.13) = 1.73 metres.
West component of 1st. displacement = (sin 51 x 70.6) = 54.87 metres.
East component of 3rd. movement = (cos 43 x 90.7) = 66.3 metres.
Net east movement = (66.3 - 54.87) = 11.6 metres.
Resultant displacement from origin = sqrt.(1.73^2 + 11.6^2) = 11.73 metres.
Direction from origin = arctan (1.73/11.6) = 8.5 degree south of east, or from end point to origin is 8.5 degrees north of west.

I have not rechecked my work.
