The correct Answer is:
To find the resultant of the two vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Magnitudes and Angles - The magnitude of vector \(\vec{A}\) is \(3 \, \text{m}\) and it makes an angle of \(20^\circ\) with the X-axis. - The magnitude of vector \(\vec{B}\) is \(4 \, \text{m}\) and it makes an angle of \(110^\circ\) with the X-axis. ### Step 2: Calculate the Components of Each Vector We can express each vector in terms of its components along the X and Y axes. For vector \(\vec{A}\): - \(A_x = A \cos(20^\circ) = 3 \cos(20^\circ)\) - \(A_y = A \sin(20^\circ) = 3 \sin(20^\circ)\) For vector \(\vec{B}\): - \(B_x = B \cos(110^\circ) = 4 \cos(110^\circ)\) - \(B_y = B \sin(110^\circ) = 4 \sin(110^\circ)\) ### Step 3: Calculate the Components Using trigonometric values: - \(\cos(20^\circ) \approx 0.9397\) - \(\sin(20^\circ) \approx 0.3420\) - \(\cos(110^\circ) \approx -0.3420\) - \(\sin(110^\circ) \approx 0.9397\) Now substituting these values: - \(A_x = 3 \times 0.9397 \approx 2.8191 \, \text{m}\) - \(A_y = 3 \times 0.3420 \approx 1.0260 \, \text{m}\) - \(B_x = 4 \times (-0.3420) \approx -1.3680 \, \text{m}\) - \(B_y = 4 \times 0.9397 \approx 3.7588 \, \text{m}\) ### Step 4: Find the Resultant Components Now, we can find the components of the resultant vector \(\vec{R}\): - \(R_x = A_x + B_x = 2.8191 - 1.3680 \approx 1.4511 \, \text{m}\) - \(R_y = A_y + B_y = 1.0260 + 3.7588 \approx 4.7848 \, \text{m}\) ### Step 5: Calculate the Magnitude of the Resultant Vector The magnitude of the resultant vector \(\vec{R}\) can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: \[ R = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2} \] Substituting the values: \[ R = \sqrt{(1.4511)^2 + (4.7848)^2} \approx \sqrt{2.1077 + 22.9119} \approx \sqrt{25.0196} \approx 5.0 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 6: Conclusion The magnitude of the resultant vector \(\vec{R}\) is approximately \(5.0 \, \text{m}\). ---
