In the sum A+B+Cvector has a magnitude of 12.0 m and is angled 40.0counterclockwise from the +x direction, and vector Chas a magnitude of 15.0 m and is angled 20.0counterclockwise from the -x direction. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle (relative to +x ) of B?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The magnitude of Brelative to +x is 26.6m

b) The angle of Brelative to +x is 28.9

Step by step solution

01

To understand the concept of the problem

Resolving vectors into their components using the vector algebra unknown vector can be found. The magnitude and the angle between the vector and +x axis can be calculated using the general equations given below for the magnitude and the angle.

Formulae

A=Ax+Ay=Acos+AsinC=Cx+Cy=Ccos+CsinA=B+CBx=Cx+Ax=Ccos-AcosBy=Cy+Ay=Csin-AsinBy=B=Bx2+By2=tan-1ByBxGivenare,ThemagnitudeofvectorA=12mandanglebetweenAand+xaxisis40ThemagnitudeofvectorC=15mandanglebetweenCand+xaxisis180+20=200

To find x and y components of B→ 

Bx=Cx-Ax=15.0mcos200-12.0mcos40Bx=-23.3mBy=Cx-Ax=15.0msin200-12.0msin40By=-12.8m

03

To find the magnitude of B→ 

The magnitude of vector Bis

-23.3m2+-12.8m2=26.6m

04

To find the angle between B→ and +x  axis

The angle of vector B relative to +x axis is

tan-1-12.8-23.3=28.9

As vector Bis in third quadrant,

180+28.9=209
