Answer to Problem 60P

The unit vector in the northeast direction is 12i^+12j^.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Unit vectors i^ and j^ are directed in east and north direction respectively.

Formula used:

The magnitude of unit vector is always equal to one that’s why it is termed as a unit vector.

The general expression for a vector is v=vxi^+vyj^ .

Write the expression for vector in terms of its components.

  v=vcosθi^+vsinθj^   ............... (1)

Here, v is the vector and v is the magnitude of vector.

When the unit vector is in the northeast direction, it will have an angle 45° with +x axis.

Calculation:

Substitute 1 for v and 45° for θ in equation (1).

  v=1cos45°i^+1sin45°j^=12i^+12j^

Conclusion:

Thus, the unit vector in the northeast direction is 12i^+12j^.

(b)

To determine

The unit vector in 70° clockwise from y axis.

Answer to Problem 60P

The unit vector in 70° clockwise from y axis is 32i^12j^ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Unit vectors i^ and j^ are directed in east and north direction respectively.

Formula used:

The magnitude of unit vector is always equal to one that’s why it is termed as a unit vector.

The general expression for a vector is v=vxi^+vyj^ .

Write the expression for vector in terms of its components.

  v=vcosθi^+vsinθj^   ............... (1)

Here, v is the vector and v is the magnitude of vector.

When the unit vector is in 70° clockwise from y axis it will make 30° with x axis.

Calculation:

Substitute 1 for v and 30° for θ in equation (1).

  v=cos30°i^1sin30°j^=32i^12j^

Conclusion:

Thus,the unit vector in 70° clockwise from y axis. 32i^12j^.

To determine

The unit vector in the southwest direction.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 60P

The unit vector in the southwest direction is 12i^12j^ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Unit vectors i^ and j^ are directed in east and north direction respectively.

Formula used:

Magnitude of unit vector is always equal to one that’s why it is termed as a unit vector.

The general expression for a vector is v=vxi^+vyj^ .

Write the expression for vector in terms of its components.

  v=vcosθi^+vsinθj^   ............... (1)

Here, v is the vector and v is the magnitude of vector.

When the unit vector is in the southwest direction, it will have an angle 45° with x axis.

Calculation:

Substitute 1 for v and 45° for θ in equation (1).

  v=1cos45°i^1sin45°j^=12i^12j^

Conclusion:

Thus, the unit vector in the southwest direction is 12i^12j^.
