Let $\vec{A}=5 \hat{i}+2 \hat{\jmath}, \vec{B}=-3 \hat{\imath}-5 \hat{\jmath},$ and $\vec{D}=\vec{A}-\vec{B}$ a. Write vector $\vec{D}$ in component form. b. Draw a coordinate system and on it show vectors $\vec{A}, \vec{B}$ and $\vec{D}$ c. What are the magnitude and direction of vector $\vec{D} ?$
(a) Find the magnitude and direction of the vector $\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{R}}$ that is the sum of the three vectors $\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{A}}, \overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{B}},$ and $\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{C}}$ in $\mathrm{Fig} .1 .34 .$ In a diagram, show how $\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{R}}$ is formed from these three vectors. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of the vector $\vec{S}=\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{C}}-\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{A}}-\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{B}} .$ In a diagram, show how $\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{S}}$ is formed from these three vectors.
