Reference no: EM13715093

Compute all parts of given problem:

Problem: A canoe has a velocity of 0.35m/s southeast relative to the earth. The canoe is on a river that is flowing 0.52 m/s east relative to the earth,

Part A: Find the magnitude of the velocity of the canoe relative to the river.

Part B: Find the direction of the velocity of the canoe relative to the river.

I want help to find the direction of the velocity of the canoe relative to the river and express your answer as an angle measured south of west. Express your answer using two significant figures.
