Vector A has length 24.9 and is at an angle of 30 degrees. Vector B has length 20 and is at an angle of 210 degrees. To the nearest tenth of a unit, what is the magnitude of A+B?
1 Answer
Not totally defined where the angles are taken from so 2 possible conditions.
Method:
Resolved into vertical and horizontal components
Explanation:
Let A be positive
Let B be negative as opposite direction
Magnitude of resultant is
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let to the right be positive
Let to the let be negative
Let up be positive
Let down be negative
Let the resultant be R
With these two values available you should be able to determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant
