The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of adding vectors \(\vec{A}\), \(\vec{B}\), and \(\vec{C}\) with given magnitudes and angles, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the components of each vector 1. **Vector \(\vec{A}\)**: - Magnitude: 100 units - Angle: \(45^\circ\) - Components: \[ \vec{A}_x = 100 \cos(45^\circ) = 100 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 50\sqrt{2} \] \[ \vec{A}_y = 100 \sin(45^\circ) = 100 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 50\sqrt{2} \] 2. **Vector \(\vec{B}\)**: - Magnitude: 100 units - Angle: \(135^\circ\) - Components: \[ \vec{B}_x = 100 \cos(135^\circ) = 100 \cdot \left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) = -50\sqrt{2} \] \[ \vec{B}_y = 100 \sin(135^\circ) = 100 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 50\sqrt{2} \] 3. **Vector \(\vec{C}\)**: - Magnitude: 100 units - Angle: \(315^\circ\) - Components: \[ \vec{C}_x = 100 \cos(315^\circ) = 100 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 50\sqrt{2} \] \[ \vec{C}_y = 100 \sin(315^\circ) = 100 \cdot \left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) = -50\sqrt{2} \] ### Step 2: Sum the components of the vectors Now we will add the components of the three vectors: - **Total \(x\)-component**: \[ R_x = \vec{A}_x + \vec{B}_x + \vec{C}_x = 50\sqrt{2} - 50\sqrt{2} + 50\sqrt{2} = 50\sqrt{2} \] - **Total \(y\)-component**: \[ R_y = \vec{A}_y + \vec{B}_y + \vec{C}_y = 50\sqrt{2} + 50\sqrt{2} - 50\sqrt{2} = 50\sqrt{2} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the magnitude of the resultant vector The magnitude of the resultant vector \(\vec{R}\) can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: \[ R = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2} = \sqrt{(50\sqrt{2})^2 + (50\sqrt{2})^2} = \sqrt{5000 + 5000} = \sqrt{10000} = 100 \] ### Step 4: Determine the direction of the resultant vector The direction (angle \(\theta\)) can be found using: \[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{R_y}{R_x} = \frac{50\sqrt{2}}{50\sqrt{2}} = 1 \] Thus, \[ \theta = 45^\circ \] ### Final Result The resultant vector \(\vec{R}\) has a magnitude of 100 units and is inclined at an angle of \(45^\circ\) to the x-axis. ---
