Do not solve the full qn My question is why is the vector VAot = 1.5 and VAon =-2.6 as shown in the solution. I understand VAot is = -3cos30=-1.5 and VAon = -3sin30 =-2.6 Why is it postive 1.5 instead of negative 1.5 or for VAon why isit negative 2.6 and not positive 2.6? Why is Vb1t = -0.866 and not 0.866 and Vb1n = -0.5 and not 0.5. I dont get it how to visualise the vector direction. Please use a vector diagram with the angles to illustrate it.
