Rock faults are ruptures along which opposite faces of have slid past each other. In Fig. 3-36, points .4 and B coincided before the rock in the foreground slid down to the right. The net displacement B is along the plane of the fault. The horizontal component of B is the strike-slip AC. The component of AB that is directed down the plane of the fault is the dip-slip AD. 

(a) What is the magnitude of the net displacement AB if the strike-slip is 22.0 m and the dip-slip is 17 .0 m? 

(b) If the plane of the fault is inclined at angle Ф = 52.0^o to the horizontal, what is the vertical component of AB?
