The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of adding the vectors \(\vec{A}\), \(\vec{B}\), and \(\vec{C}\) with magnitudes of 100 units and angles of \(45^\circ\), \(135^\circ\), and \(315^\circ\) respectively, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Break down each vector into its components We will use the formula for the components of a vector: \[ \vec{V} = V_x \hat{i} + V_y \hat{j} \] where \(V_x = V \cos(\theta)\) and \(V_y = V \sin(\theta)\). 1. **For \(\vec{A}\)**: - Magnitude = 100 units, Angle = \(45^\circ\) \[ A_x = 100 \cos(45^\circ) = 100 \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 50\sqrt{2} \] \[ A_y = 100 \sin(45^\circ) = 100 \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 50\sqrt{2} \] Thus, \(\vec{A} = 50\sqrt{2} \hat{i} + 50\sqrt{2} \hat{j}\). 2. **For \(\vec{B}\)**: - Magnitude = 100 units, Angle = \(135^\circ\) \[ B_x = 100 \cos(135^\circ) = 100 \times -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = -50\sqrt{2} \] \[ B_y = 100 \sin(135^\circ) = 100 \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 50\sqrt{2} \] Thus, \(\vec{B} = -50\sqrt{2} \hat{i} + 50\sqrt{2} \hat{j}\). 3. **For \(\vec{C}\)**: - Magnitude = 100 units, Angle = \(315^\circ\) \[ C_x = 100 \cos(315^\circ) = 100 \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 50\sqrt{2} \] \[ C_y = 100 \sin(315^\circ) = 100 \times -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = -50\sqrt{2} \] Thus, \(\vec{C} = 50\sqrt{2} \hat{i} - 50\sqrt{2} \hat{j}\). ### Step 2: Sum the components of the vectors Now, we will add the components of the vectors: - **Sum of x-components**: \[ R_x = A_x + B_x + C_x = (50\sqrt{2}) + (-50\sqrt{2}) + (50\sqrt{2}) = 50\sqrt{2} \] - **Sum of y-components**: \[ R_y = A_y + B_y + C_y = (50\sqrt{2}) + (50\sqrt{2}) + (-50\sqrt{2}) = 50\sqrt{2} \] ### Step 3: Resultant vector The resultant vector \(\vec{R}\) can be expressed as: \[ \vec{R} = R_x \hat{i} + R_y \hat{j} = 50\sqrt{2} \hat{i} + 50\sqrt{2} \hat{j} \] ### Step 4: Magnitude of the resultant vector To find the magnitude of the resultant vector: \[ |\vec{R}| = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2} = \sqrt{(50\sqrt{2})^2 + (50\sqrt{2})^2} = \sqrt{2500 \times 2 + 2500 \times 2} = \sqrt{5000} = 100\sqrt{5} \] ### Conclusion The resultant vector \(\vec{R}\) has a magnitude of \(100\sqrt{5}\) units, and it is directed at an angle \(\theta\) with respect to the x-axis given by: \[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{R_y}{R_x} = \frac{50\sqrt{2}}{50\sqrt{2}} = 1 \implies \theta = 45^\circ \] ### Final Result Thus, the resultant vector has a magnitude of \(100\sqrt{5}\) units and is directed at an angle of \(45^\circ\) with respect to the x-axis. ---
