Chapter 3, Problem 6PLA
Figure 3-6 has been constructed to scale with 1.00 cm = 10.0 N. Use the parallelogram graphical method to construct (on Figure 3-6) the resultant vector FR for the addition of F1 and F2. Measure the length of the resultant vector and record it below. State the force represented by this length. Measure with a protractor the angle that the resultant makes with the x axis.
Resultant vector length = _____cm
Force represented by this length = _____N
Direction of resultant relative to x axis = _____degrees

Hello, can you please help me with this.
Based on the first page can you please help me fill out table 2 completely ñ. Thanks (:
Solve the following problem using analytical techniques: Suppose you walk 18.5 m straight west and then 26.0 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point, and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position? (If you represent the two legs of the walk as vector displacements A and B, as in the figure below, then this problem asks you to find their sum
R = A + B.
Give the direction in degrees north of west.)
Please answer it within 30 minutes. I will upvote!
