Chapter R.1, Problem 42E

Solve this question and show steps.

u, v and w are three coplanar vectors: ⚫ w has a magnitude of 10 and points along the positive x-axis ⚫ v has a magnitude of 3 and makes an angle of 58 degrees to the positive x- axis ⚫ u has a magnitude of 5 and makes an angle of 119 degrees to the positive x- axis ⚫ vector v is located in between u and w a) Draw a diagram of the three vectors placed tail-to-tail at the origin of an x-y plane. b) If possible, find w × (ū+v) Support your answer mathematically or a with a written explanation. c) If possible, find v. (ū⋅w) Support your answer mathematically or a with a written explanation. d) If possible, find u. (vxw) Support your answer mathematically or a with a written explanation. Note: in this question you can work with the vectors in geometric form or convert them to algebraic vectors.
