Hardy, an avid TikToker, decided to look at his wristwatch to tell his friend dolphins the current time. However, his dolphins only understand the time if it is stated in terms of the resultant vector when the hour hand and minute hand vectors are added together. Assume that both vectors point from the center, outward. The length of the hour hand is 6.20 cm; while the length of the minute hand is 9.50 cm. Assume the hour hand only moves every hour.

Hardy, an avid TikToker, decided to look at his wristwatch to tell his friend dolphins the current time.
However, his dolphins only understand the time if it is stated in terms of the resultant vector when the hour
hand and minute hand vectors are added together. Assume that both vectors point from the center, outward.
The length of the hour hand is 6.20 cm; while the length of the minute hand is 9.50 cm. Assume the hour
hand only moves every hour.
Follow this format in answering:
- Draw the position of the hour and minute hands on an analog clock for this time configuration. Label
your illustration with relevant angles and magnitudes.
- Decompose the components of each vector along the x and y-direction.
- Calculate for the resultant vector and express in the form required in each item.
ANSWER THIS:
What should Hardy tell the dolphins if the current time is 1:40 PM, in component form?
