Randall D. Knight — Vectors and Coordinate Systems: Problem 41
The treasure map in FIGURE P3.41 gives the following directions to the buried treasure: “Start at the old oak tree, walk due north for 500 paces, then due east for 100 paces. Dig.” But when you arrive, you find an angry dragon just north of the tree. To avoid the dragon, you set off along the yellow brick road at an angle 60° east of north. After walking 300 paces you see an opening through the woods. In which direction should you walk, as an angle west of north, and how far, to reach the treasure?
