Example 11: A bike travels 20 m, E then 40 m<br />

at 60 o N of W, and finally 30 m at 210 o . What<br />

is the resultant displacement graphically?<br />

C = 30 m<br />

30 o R<br />

<br />

<br />

B =<br />

40 m<br />

60 o<br />

Graphically, we use<br />

ruler and protractor<br />

to draw components,<br />

then measure the<br />

Resultant R,<br />

A = 20 m, E<br />

Let 1 cm = 10 m<br />

R = (32.6 m, 143.0 o )
