Question

Four displacement vectors, A, B, C, and D, are shown in the diagram below. Their magnitudes are: A = 16.2 m, B = 11.0 m, C = 12.0 m, and D = 27.0 m. What is the magnitude, in meters, and direction, in degrees, of the resultant vector sum of A, B, C, and D? Give the direction as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x direction. magnitude m direction °

Step 1

2 * cos(20°) = 15.29 - y component = 16.2 * sin(20°) = 5.56 For vector B: - x component = 0 - y component = 11 For vector C: - x component = -12 * cos(35°) = -9.84 - y component = 12 * sin(35°) = 6.89 For vector D: - x component = 27 * cos(50°) = 17.34 - y Show more…
