To solve the problem of finding the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector formed by two vectors of equal magnitude \( E \) that make an angle of \( 120^\circ \) with each other, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Vectors We have two vectors, both of magnitude \( E \), and they are positioned such that the angle between them is \( 120^\circ \). ### Step 2: Break Down the Vectors Assume one vector \( \vec{A} \) is along the x-axis. The second vector \( \vec{B} \) will then be at an angle of \( 120^\circ \) from \( \vec{A} \). ...
