x is east
y is north
z is up I assume
x = -4610 sin 30.9 East
y = +4610 cos 30.9 North
z = +2270
The summit of a mountain, 2270 above base camp, is measured on a map to be 4610 horizontally from the camp in a direction 30.9 west of north.What are the components of the displacement vector from camp to summit? Choose the axis east, axis north, and axis up.What is its magnitude?
