Consider two mass-less springs connected in series. Spring 1 has a spring constant k₁, and spring 2 has a spring constant k₂. A
constant force of magnitude F is being applied to the right. When the two springs are connected in this way, they form a system equivalent to a single spring of spring constant k.
What is the effective spring constant k of the two-spring system? Express the effective spring constant in terms of k₁ and k₂.

Answer:
The person is 187[m] farther and 70° south to east.
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by drawing a sketch of the location of the person and the truck, then we will draw the displacement vectors and finally the length of the vector and the direction of the vector will be measured in order to give the correct indication of where the person will have to move.
First we establish an origin of a coordinate system.
We can see in the attached schema that the red vector is the displacement vector from the last point to where the truck is located.
The length of the vector is 187 [m], and the direction is 70 degrees south to East.
