Expert Solution
Step 1
Physics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

When we represent two vectors in cartesian co-ordinate then the positions of vectors be:

                   OB→=bi^

                   OA→=acosθ i^ +asinθ j^

When we apply Vector addition then 

                   AB→=OA→- OB→

                  AB→=acoθ i^ + asinθ j^ -bi^AB→ =acosθ -b i^ +asinθj^
