Given the vectors in unit vector notation:
A=(-3.0m)i+(4.0m)j
B=(4.0m)i+(-7.0m)j
Calculate the magnitude and the directional angle of the resultant
of r=a+b with respect to the + x axis.
Given,
The resultant vector is given by,
The magnitude of the resultant vector is given by,
So the magnitude of the resultant vector is 3.16m.
The direction of the resultant vector is given by,
So the direction of resultant vector is clockwise or anti-clockwise from positive x-axis.
(NB: Usually the direction is taken anti-clockwise from positive x-axis)
