Answer to Problem 1P

The position vector is,

Introductory Mathematics for Engineering Applications, Chapter 4, Problem 1P , additional homework tip  1

Its coordinates are, (x,y)=(6,10.39).

The vector representation in rectangular form is Introductory Mathematics for Engineering Applications, Chapter 4, Problem 1P , additional homework tip  2 in, and in polar form is Introductory Mathematics for Engineering Applications, Chapter 4, Problem 1P , additional homework tip  3 in.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

Length of one link robot is 12 inches and its direction is 60°.

Calculation:

The length and direction are given,

  P=12 inθ=60°

So,

  Px=Pcosθ=12cos(60°)=6 inPy=Psinθ=12sin(60°)=10.39 in

The position vector,

Introductory Mathematics for Engineering Applications, Chapter 4, Problem 1P , additional homework tip  4

The coordinates,

  (x,y)=(Px,Py) =(6,10.39)

The vector in rectangular form,

Introductory Mathematics for Engineering Applications, Chapter 4, Problem 1P , additional homework tip  5

In polar form,

Introductory Mathematics for Engineering Applications, Chapter 4, Problem 1P , additional homework tip  6

Conclusion:

The position vector is,

Introductory Mathematics for Engineering Applications, Chapter 4, Problem 1P , additional homework tip  7

Its coordinates are, (x,y)=(6,10.39).

The vector representation in rectangular form is Introductory Mathematics for Engineering Applications, Chapter 4, Problem 1P , additional homework tip  8 in, and in polar form is Introductory Mathematics for Engineering Applications, Chapter 4, Problem 1P , additional homework tip  9 in.
