To find magnitude of vector a→+b→+c→

Using the above values the vector a→+b→+c→can be written as

a→+b→+c→=30.4iÁåœ-23.3mjÁåœMagnitudeofa→+b→+c→isa→+b→+c→=30.4m2+-23.3m2a→+b→+c→=38m

03

To find the angle between vector a→+b→+c→ and x axis

The angle between a→+b→+c→and x axis is

tan-1-23.3m30.4m=-37.5°

This is equivalent to 37.5°clockwise from the +x axis and322.5°counterclockwise from +x axis

To find magnitude of vector a→+b→+c→

a→+b→+c→=127miÁåœ+2.60mjÁåœa→+b→+c→=127m2+2.60m2a→+b→+c→=1.30×102m

05

To find the angle between vector a→+b→+c→ and x axis

The angle betweena→+b→+c→and x axis is

tan-126.5m127m=1.2°

Therefore, the angle between a→+b→+c→ and +x axis is 1.2°

07

To find the angle between vector d→ and x axis

The angle betweend→and +x axis is

tan-147.4m-40.4m=50°

As vectord→is in third quadrant so,

180°-50°=130°

Therefore, the angle betweend→and +x axis is
