Transcribed Image Text:(c) Using your components from part (c) above, calculate the
magnitudes and directions of R, S, and D. When you specify a vector
direction, please use the compass "north of east"-type terminology. There
is more than one possible correct answer since, for example, 32° south of
west is the same as 58° west of south.
magnitude of R:
direction of R:
magnitude of S:

(d) Lastly, you'll check your calculation of one vector combination using a
graphical method. Using a ruler, a protractor, and graph paper, add the
vectors -A and B using the head-to-tail method to construct D = B - A.
Measure your head-to-tail drawing to determine the magnitude and
direction of D and compare it with your finding in part (c). Note: you will
need to show the vectors -A and B on your diagram for full credit. We
suggest including a scale bar to indicate the conversion from meter units to
squares on the graph paper.
magnitude of D, read from the construction of vector D on graph paper:
direction of D, read from the construction of vector D on graph paper:
Percentage difference in the magnitude of D:
(take the difference between your values for D| in parts (c) and (d), divide
by the value of |D| in part (c), and multiply by 100)
