- Problem 4-2 A particle is traveling along an arc of 6.5-in radius. The arc center is at the origin of a global coordinate system. When the particle is at position A, its position vector makes a 45° angle with the X axis. At position B, its vector makes a 75° angle with the X axis. Draw this system to some convenient scale and: a. Write an expression for the particle's position vector in position A using complex number notation, in both polar and cartesian forms. b. Write an expression for the particle's position vector in position B using complex number notation, in both polar and cartesian forms. c. Write a vector equation for the position difference between points B and A.
