Expert Solution
Step 1

For this problem, we have to use the triangular law of vector addition and the vector section formula.

Triangular law of vector addition:

The triangle law of vector addition says that when two vectors are represented as two sides of a triangle with the same order of magnitude and direction, then the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector is represented by the third side of the triangle taken in reverse order.

In the above diagram, we have c=a+b.

If a point P divides the line joining A and B in the ratio m:n, then, 

OP=nOA+mOBm+n.
