Let $\vec{A}=\left(3.0 \mathrm{m}, 20^{\circ} \text { south of east) }, \vec{B}=(2.0 \mathrm{m}, \text { north) },\text { and }\right.$ $\vec{C}=$$\left(5.0 \mathrm{m}, 70^{\circ}\right.$ south of west). a. Draw and label $\vec{A}, \vec{B},$ and $\vec{C}$ with their tails at the origin. Use a coordinate system with the $x$ -axis to the east. b. Write $\vec{A}, \vec{B},$ and $\vec{C}$ in component form, using unit vectors. c. Find the magnitude and the direction of $\vec{D}=\vec{A}+\vec{B}+\vec{C}$.
