Step 1
We have two vectors with magnitudes \( A = 6 \) units and \( B = 8 \) units. We need to find the angle between these vectors when their resultant is (a) 10 units and (b) 4 units. Show more…

Two vectors, 10 and 15 units long, make 60° with each other. Find the magnitude and direction of their resultant with respect to the longer vector. A particle is displaced 60 cm toward the north and is then given a second displacement of 90 cm directly to the east. What is the resultant displacement? With the aid of a ruler and a protractor, find the resultant of the following vectors by geometrical method: 15 km directed 45° North of West and 12 km directed 30° North of East.
