a. What is the i component of the sum A and B?
b. What is the j component of the sum of A and B?
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given ,
magnitude of vector A = 29
direction of A = 284 degrees
magnitude of vector B = 22
direction of B = 165 degrees
i component of a vector is x component and its equal to magnitude times cosine of angles.
j component of a vector is y component and its equal to magnitude times sine of angles.
