A trapper walks a 5.0-km straigt4ine distance from his cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Use a graphical method (the parallelogram rule) to determine the trapper’s displacement directly to the east and displacement directly to the north that sum up to his resultant displacement vector. If the trapper walked only in directions east and north, zigzagging his way to the lake, how many kilometers would he have to walk to get to the lake?

Check Your Understanding For the vectors given in Figure 2.13, find the scalar products AB and CF . The three displacement vectors A , B , and C in Figure 2.13 are specified by their magnitudes A=10.0,B=7.0 and C=8.0 , respectively, and by their respective direction angles with the horizontal direction =35,=110 , and =30 .
