Answer to Question #310389 in Mechanics | Relativity for kaye1109

Question

Given: A = 100m, 30°NofE; B⃑ = 80m, 30°WofNandC = 40m, 55°SofW

a. Plot the given vectors in the coordinate plane.

b. Calculate the components of vectors A, B and C.

c. Write each vector in terms of the unit vectors.

d. Determine the resultant vector.

Answer 1

$\vec A=86.6\vec i+50\vec j,$

$\vec B=-40\vec i+69.3\vec j,$

$\vec C=-22.9\vec i-32.8\vec j.$

$\vec A-2\vec B+\vec C=143.7\vec i-121.4\vec j,$

$\vec C+\vec A-\vec B=103.7\vec i-52.1\vec j.$
