If the displacement of a point along x-axis is u = 3 mm and the displacement along y-axis is v = 2 mm, and if “t” is an axis making an angle of 30o in the clockwise direction with respect to x-axis, what would be the displacements of this point ut and vn along the orthogonal axes “t” and “n”, respectively?
Select one:
ut = 3.598 mm and vn = 0.232 mm
ut = 0.232 mm and vn = 3.598 mm
ut = 3.232 mm and vn =1.598 mm
ut = 1.598 mm and vn = 3.232 mm
The vector B>has components Bx = -2.10 m and By = -1.70 m. Find the direction angle,u, for this vector.
