A displacement vector \(\mathbf{A}\) has magnitude \(30\ \text{m}\) and is directed \(40^{\circ}\) north of east. A second displacement vector \(\mathbf{B}\) has magnitude \(40\ \text{m}\) and is directed \(30^{\circ}\) west of north. Find the magnitude of the resultant displacement and state its bearing as an angle east of north, to one decimal place.

Answer Options

A. Resultant magnitude ≈ 60.0 m, bearing ≈ 0.0° east of north
Correct Answer B. Resultant magnitude ≈ 54.0 m, bearing ≈ 3.2° east of north
C. Resultant magnitude ≈ 54.0 m, bearing ≈ 15.0° east of north
D. Resultant magnitude ≈ 48.0 m, bearing ≈ 10.5° east of north
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Resultant magnitude ≈ 54.0 m, bearing ≈ 3.2° east of north
