Question

Consider again the ship that sails from Guam. Like before, it first travels d1 = 290km at theta 1 = 40.0 degree N of W. But then, the navigation equipment fails. The captain points the ship roughly to the southeast and sails a straight line. When the equipment comes back online, the captain realizes that a small adjustment of d3 = 15.0 km at theta 3 = 30.0 degree W of S is needed to once again reach the goal of being 110 km due East of Guam. Determine the magnitude and direction of that second displacement, d2 and theta 2.
