Answer» Two VECTORS a and b have equal magnitudes of 12 units. These vectors are making ANGLES 30° and 120° with the x axis respectively. Their SUM is r. Find the x and y components of r.magnitude of vector a = magnitude of vector b = 12 units. vector a makes an angle 30° with x-axis. so, a = 12(cos30° i + sin30° j) = 12(√3/2 i + 1/2 j) = 6√3 i + 6 j again, vector b makes an angle 120° with x - axis . so, b = 12(cos120° i + sin120°j) = 12(-1/2 i + √3/2 j) = -6 i + 6√3 j a/c to question, r = a + b so, r = (6√3 i + 6j) + (-6I + 6√3j) = (6√3 - 6)i + (6 + 6√3)j so, component of vector r along x-axis = (6√3 - 6) so, component of vector r along x-axis = (6√3 - 6)and component of vector r along y-axis = (6 + √3) |
