Answer

(a) $12.0s$ (b) $55.5s$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the required time taken toward east as follows: $1.75m/s cos18^{\circ}=(1.75m/s)(0.951)=1.664m/s$ Now $t=\frac{s}{v}$ We plug in the known values to obtain; $t=\frac{20m}{1.664m/s}$ $t=12.0s$ (b) We can find the time taken toward north as $(1.75m/s)sin18^{\circ}=(1.75m/s)(0.309)=0.541m/s$ Now $t=\frac{s}{v}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $t=\frac{30m}{0.541m/s}$ $t=55.5s$
