Answer:
(a) , . and .
(b).
(c) and the direction 124.56°.
Explanation:
Given that,
,
and
(a) The magnitude of a vector is the square root of the sum of the square of all the components of the vector, i.e. for a ,.
So, the magnitude of the is
.
The magnitude of the is
.
And, the magnitude of the is
.
(b) The difference between the two vectors is the difference between the corresponding components of the vectors. So, the required expression of is
(c) The expression of is
The magnitude of is
Now, if a vector in 3rd quadrant having direction with respect to direction, than
in the anti-clockwise direction.
Here, from equation (i), for the vector , and .
180°-55.44° [as \pi radian= 180°]
124.56° in the anti-clockwise direction.
(d) Vector diagrams for and has been shown
in the figure(b) and figure(c) recpectively.
Vector is in 3rd quadrant as calculated in part (c).
While Vector
, which is in 1st quadrant as both the components are position has been shown in figure(b).
