Given information
Given three vectors are shown in Fig. 3-35. Their magnitudes are given in arbitrary units. Vector magnitudes are given in arbitrary units.
To determine the sum of the three vectors. Give the resultant in terms of components
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Each vector has an and component which can be calculated by resolving the individual vectors. The and components of each vector are given by
In these equations represents each of the vectors in the problem. Substitute the respective magnitude and angle for each vector and evaluate the expressions.
Note: Vector is in the second quadrant so the component will have a negative sign. Vector points directly down at an angle of from the positive axis, so the component will be negative.
