Question
Find the component form of the vector $v$ whose magnitude and direction angle $\theta$ are given.$$\|\mathbf{v}\|=3, \boldsymbol{\theta}=310^{\circ}$$
Step 1
We can do this using the formula $\theta_{\text{radians}} = \theta_{\text{degrees}} \times \frac{\pi}{180}$. So, $\theta_{\text{radians}} = 310^{\circ} \times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{31\pi}{18}$. Show more…
