Question

A plumber steps out of his truck, walks 66 m66 \mathrm{~m} east and 35 m35 \mathrm{~m} south, and then takes an elevator 12 m12 \mathrm{~m} into the subbasement of a building where a bad leak is occurring. What is the displacement of the plumber relative to his truck? Give your answer in components; also give the magnitude and angles, with respect to the xx axis, in the vertical and horizontal plane. Assume xx is east, yy is north, and zz is up.

Data known from the problem:

x=66mx=66\hspace{1mm}\text{m}

y=35my=35\hspace{1mm}\text{m}

z=12mz=12\hspace{1mm}\text{m}

We need to find vector of displacement r\vec r, magnitude of that vector and angles with respect to the x axis, in the vertical and horizontal plane.
