A sailboat is acted on by a wind force of 340N directed 40° south of east and a current force of 210N directed 35° south of west. Pick an appropriate scale and make a full-size vector diagram. Find the components of the wind & the current. Draw and label these components on the diagram. Show how to use the components you found and the Component Rule for Adding Vectors to find: a. The east component of the resultant force.. The north component of the resultant force.
