A novice golfer on the green takes three
strokes to sink the ball. The successive dis-
placements are 8.3 m to the north, 5.8 m
northeast, and 5.9 m 60◦ west of south. Start-
ing at the same initial point, an expert (lucky)
golfer could make the hole in a single displace-
ment.
What is the magnitude of this single dis-
placement?
Answer in units of m.
 
Add the first two getting 13.0618 at an angle of 18.3º E of N
then add the third making an angle of 41.7º between the first resultant and the third vector.
So its magnitude is 9.5 m

But there were a lot of calculations in there so plenty of chances for error; don't bet the house on this answer
