Answer

the magnitude of $\vec{d}_{B}$ is $$=8.6 \mathrm{\ cm}$$

Work Step by Step

Similarly, the displacement for point $B$ is $\vec{d}_{B}=\vec{w}+\vec{v}+\vec{j}+\vec{p}+\vec{o}$ $=l_{0}\left(\cos 60^{\circ} \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\sin 60^{\circ} \hat{\mathrm{j}}\right)+\left(l_{0} \hat{\mathrm{j}}\right)+l_{0}\left(\cos 60^{\circ} \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\sin 60^{\circ} \hat{\mathrm{j}}\right)+l_{0}\left(\cos 30^{\circ} \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\sin 30^{\circ} \hat{\mathrm{j}}\right)+\left(l_{0} \hat{\mathrm{i}}\right)$ $=(2+\sqrt{3} / 2) l_{0} \hat{\mathrm{i}}+(3 / 2+\sqrt{3}) l_{0} \hat{\mathrm{j}}$ Therefore, the magnitude of $\vec{d}_{B}$ is $\left|\vec{d}_{B}\right|=l_{0} \sqrt{(2+\sqrt{3} / 2)^{2}+(3 / 2+\sqrt{3})^{2}}=(2.0 \mathrm{cm})(4.3)=8.6 \mathrm{cm}$
