Starting from the front door of your house, you walk 60.0 m due east to a store, and then you walk 40.0 in the direction that is 30.0o south of west to a bench where you sit and read a physics book. For the entire trip starting from the front door of your house to the bench, what is your displacement vector?
a) 72.1 m at 33.7o south of east
b) 72.1 m at 56.3o south of east
c) 32.3 m at 49.4o south of east
d) 32.3 m at 38.3o south of east
A =60.0 m due east
-------------
B = 40.0m in the direction that is 30.0 deg south of west
