The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the magnitudes of two vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) given that their resultant \( \vec{R} \) makes angles of \( 60^\circ \) with \( \vec{A} \) and \( 30^\circ \) with \( \vec{B} \), and the magnitude of the resultant is \( 25 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Geometry**: We have two vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) with a resultant \( \vec{R} \). The angles given are: - \( \angle R \vec{A} = 60^\circ \) - \( \angle R \vec{B} = 30^\circ \) 2. **Use the Law of Cosines**: The magnitude of the resultant vector can be expressed in terms of the magnitudes of \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) and the angles between them. However, we can also use the components of the vectors based on the angles provided. 3. **Resolve \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \)**: - The component of \( \vec{A} \) along the direction of \( \vec{R} \) is: \[ A = R \cdot \cos(60^\circ) = 25 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 12.5 \] - The component of \( \vec{B} \) along the direction of \( \vec{R} \) is: \[ B = R \cdot \sin(60^\circ) = 25 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 12.5\sqrt{3} \] 4. **Final Magnitudes**: - Thus, the magnitudes of the vectors are: - \( |\vec{A}| = 12.5 \) - \( |\vec{B}| = 12.5\sqrt{3} \) 5. **Conclusion**: The magnitudes of the two vectors are \( 12.5 \) and \( 12.5\sqrt{3} \).
