A man moves along the path abode as shown in the Fig. What is his displacement from the point of start?

A

15 m

B

4 m

C

4.7 m

D

5.2 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Here simple trigonometrical calculation gives

fb=2m
gf=2m
fc=3.46 m
ge =2.46 m
ga=4m
`:.` Ae (displacement )`=[(2.46)^2 +4^2]^1//2` =4.7 m
