Mt. Lafayette hike. Figure 3.19 shows a trail 5.8 km long, leading from a trailhead (elevation 1770 ft) to the summit of Mt. Lafayette (elevation 5250 ft) in New Hampshire. Sara hikes the trail. What are the (a) magnitude \(L\) and (b) elevation angle \(\theta\) (relative to the horizontal) of Saraβs displacement for the hike? (Measure the component in the plane of the map by laying the edge of a sheet of paper next to the line in the map, marking off the lineβs length \(d\), and then using the scale on the map.)
π Solution Approach
Given: 5.8 km, 1770 ft, 5250 ft
Find: (a) magnitude \; (b) elevation angle \
