Vector addition:
What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the train relative to the ground?
Given: V of the man relative to the train: 1.7m/s due north
V of the man relative to the ground = 4.5m/s 32 degrees west of north.

I got 3.188 m/s 131.42 degrees west of north, but I am sure this is wrong!

Here is my current work:
Vmg = Vmt + Vtg
Vmg - Vmt = Vtg|dw:1475031585858:dw|
