Show the following vectors graphically:
a force of 5 N towards north-east on a scale 1 cm=1N

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have to represent a force (a vector quantity) of 5 N on the scale, 1 cm=1 N=5N=5 cm
This means the force vector of 5 N magnitude can be shown graphically by an arrow of length 5 cm in the north-east direction means at an angle of `45^(@)` with the north and east directions. Thus vector OA shown in figure, represents a force of 5 N in the north-east direction (or `45^(@)` NE).
