Summit of a mountain, 2067 m above base camp, is measured on a map to be 4586 m horizontally from the camp in

Question

in a direction 32.4° west of north. Choose the x axis east, y axis north, and z axis up. What are the components of the displacement vector from camp to summit?

Answer 1

(4586 m) * sin (32.4 degrees) = - x distance

(4586 m) * cos (32.4 degrees) = + y distance

2067 m = + z distance
