(Solved): The three displacement vectors in the drawing have magnitudes of A=4.55m,B=6.43m, and C=3.89m ...
The three displacement vectors in the drawing have magnitudes of , and . Find the resultant ((a) magnitude and (b) directional angle) of the three vectors by means of the component method. Express the directional angle as an angle above the positive or negative xaxis which is less than (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
Expert Answer
We have to solve the problem using the component method.So, resolving each of the given vectors into x and y components.By resolving a vector in the x-y plane we will get two components. X-component(cos component) and Y-component(sine component). Here, since vector C is along negative y-direction, it has no x-component.
