If A represents a
The magnitude and direction of vectors C and D.
Answer to Problem 1.1P
The magnitude and direction of vectors
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Vector A is 2 units directed west, and B is 3 units directed north. Also,
Calculation:
From the given information
Adding equation (1) and (2)
Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2)
So, the magnitude of vector C is 4.5 and direction is towards North.
The magnitude of vector D is
Vector D is having a magnitude 2.5 and is directed towards East North-East.
Conclusion:
The magnitude and direction of vectors are
