**Vector Addition and Subtraction**

6. Two vectors are shown in each diagram.

a. On the left diagram, using the graphical method of addition, show how to construct \(\vec{A} + \vec{B}\).

b. On the right diagram, using the graphical method of addition, show how to construct \(\vec{B} - \vec{A}\).

c. Determine \(3\vec{A} + \vec{B}\) in unit-vector notation.

**Diagrams Explanation:**

- **Left Diagram:**
  - Illustrates two vectors, \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\), in a coordinate system with an origin labeled \(O\).
  - \(\vec{A}\) has a magnitude of 3.00 m at an angle of 30.0° from the x-axis.
  - \(\vec{B}\) is aligned along the y-axis with a magnitude of 3.00 m.

- **Right Diagram:**
  - Repeats the vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\), each originating from the origin.
  - Configuration is the same as the left diagram to illustrate vector subtraction \(\vec{B} - \vec{A}\).

The task involves using these diagrams to visually add or subtract given vectors using the graphical method. For part (c), the goal is to compute a linear combination of these vectors in unit-vector notation.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The magnitude of A is 3 m and it is directed 30o with respect to positive X-axis.

The magnitude of B is 3 m and it is directed along the positive Y-axis.

Thus, the angular separation of A and B is 60o

And the angular separation of B and -A is 120o
