Answer to Problem 16.42P
The value of A from scalar quantity 4(7+3) is 40.
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The scalar quantity A is 4(7+3).
The formula to calculate scalar quantity A is,
A=a(b+c)
Here,
a is the scalar value.
b is the scalar value.
c is the scalar value.
Substitute 4 for a, 7 for b and 3 for c in the above expression.
A=4(7+3)=40
Conclusion:
Therefore, the value of A from scalar quantity 4(7+3) is 40.

Answer to Problem 16.42P
The value of A is 7, B is 0 and C is 3.
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The scalar quantity A is 4(7+3) and the vector quantity is 700ˆi+3.00ˆk=Aˆi+Bˆj+Cˆk.
The given vectors are,
700ˆi+3.00ˆk and Aˆi7+Bˆj+Cˆk
The given two vectors are said to be equal if the magnitude of one vector equals the magnitude of other vector and direction in all the three axes are equal.
Compare the respective coefficient of ˆi, ˆj and ˆk,
A=700B=0C=3.00
Conclusion:
Therefore, the value of A is 7, B is 0 and C is 3.

Answer to Problem 16.42P
The comparison of the unit vectors on both sides of equation the given equation is the proper way to convince the student how we arrive at the answer.
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The scalar quantity A is 4(7+3) and the vector quantity is 700ˆi+3.00ˆk=Aˆi+Bˆj+Cˆk.
The dot product generates a scalar as output. The coefficients of same unit vector are multiplied and added to get the answer.
The unit vectors in three mutually perpendicular axes are ˆi in x direction ˆj in y direction and ˆk in z direction.
The coefficients of ˆi, ˆj and ˆk are compared to get the three unknowns.
The coefficient of ˆj is 0 in 700ˆi+3.00ˆk. So the value of B is 0. The coefficient of ˆi is 700 in 700ˆi+3.00ˆk. So the value of A is 700 and the coefficient of ˆk is 3.00 in 700ˆi+3.00ˆk. So the value of C is 3.00.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the comparison of the unit vectors on both sides of equation the given equation is the proper way to convince the student how we arrive at the answer.

Answer to Problem 16.42P
The value of A is 0, B is 7.00, C is 3 rad/m, D is 4 rad/s and E is 2 rad.
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The scalar quantity A is 4(7+3) and the vector quantity is 700ˆi+3.00ˆk=Aˆi+Bˆj+Cˆk. The functional equality is A+Bcos(Cx+Dt+E)=7.00cos(3x+4t+2).
Compare the given functional equality for the values of A, B, C, D and E.
The given functional equality is,
A+Bcos(Cx+Dt+E)=7.00cos(3x+4t+2)
Rewrite the above equation as,
A+Bcos(Cx+Dt+E)=0+7.00cos(3x+4t+2)
Compare the above expression.
A=0B=7.00C=3 rad/mD=4 rad/sE=2 rad
Conclusion:
Therefore, the value of A is 0, B is 7.00, C is 3 rad/m and D is 4 rad/s.

Answer to Problem 16.42P
The comparison of the given functional equality is helped to get the answer A is 0, B is 7.00, C is 3 rad/m and D is 4 rad/s.
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The scalar quantity A is 4(7+3) and the vector quantity is 700ˆi+3.00ˆk=Aˆi+Bˆj+Cˆk. The functional equality is A+Bcos(Cx+Dt+E)=7.00cos(3x+4t+2).
The given functional equality is,
A+Bcos(Cx+Dt+E)=7.00cos(3x+4t+2)
Add 0 on the R.H.S of the above equation.
A+Bcos(Cx+Dt+E)=0+7.00cos(3x+4t+2)
Compare the R.H.S and L.H.S of the above equality,
A=0B=7.00C=3 rad/mD=4 rad/sE=2 rad
Conclusion:
Therefore, the comparison of the given functional equality is helped to get the answer A is 0, B is 7.00, C is 3 rad/m and D is 4 rad/s.
