Question
I would like help with part d) please as I am not sure how to answer
(a) Vector Ē has magnitude 17.0 cm and is directed 27.0° counterclockwise
from the +x axis. Express it in unit-vector notation. (b) Vector F has magnitude 17.0 cm and
is directed 27.0° counterclockwise from the +y axis. Express it in unit-vector notation. (c)
Vector Ğ has magnitude 17.0 cm and is directed 27.0° clockwise from the -y axis. Express it
3.
in unit-vector notation.
= d) Find Ē+F+G in unit vector notation
17cos27î + 17sin27ĵ = 15.15î + 7.72)
%3D
Here both components are positive as E lies in first quadrant
b}F = –17sin27î + 17cos27ĵ = –7.72î + 15.15)
%3D
Here the F lies in second quadrant so y-component is positive and x-component is negative.
9G = -17sin27î – 17cos27ĵ = –7.72î – 15.15)
%3D
Here the G lies in third quadrant so both x-component and y-component are negative.
