Understanding the concept of vector diagram

Using the vector diagram, we can do the addition and subtraction of vectors. Also, we can find the direction of vectors.

The components of the vectorA along the X and Y axis are,

Ax=A肠辞蝉胃Ay=A蝉颈苍胃

(whereis the angle made by a vectorAwith the x-axis.)

03

Draw the vector diagram


From above vector diagram,

  • The x-component of aisax=5.0m,asaalongxaxis.

  • The y-component of aisay=0.0m,asaalong-axis.

  • The x-component of bis,

bx=bcos35=-2.29m

  • The y-component of bis,

by=bsin35=3.28m

04

(a) Calculate the magnitude of a→+b→

Let鈥檚 assume that c=b+a. Therefore, the x-component of cis,

cx=ax+bx=5-2.29=2.71m

The y-component of cis,

cy=ay+by=0+3.28=3.28

Then, the magnitude of cis,

c=cx2+cy2=2.712+3.282=4.2m

Therefore, the magnitude of a+bis 4.2m.

05

(b) Calculate the direction ofa→+b→

The direction of a+bis given by the angle subtended by it with x axis which is

tan=cycx=3.282.71=tan-11.21=50.4450

Therefore, the direction of a+bis at 50.

06

(c) Calculate the magnitude of b→-a→

Now, let鈥檚 assume that d=b-a. The x-component of dis,

dx=bx-ax=-2.29-5=-7.29m

The y-component of dis,

dy=by-ay=3.28-0=3.28

Then, the magnitude of dis,

d=dx2+d2y=-7.293+3.282=8.0m

Therefore, the magnitude ofb-ais8.0m.

07

(d) Calculate the direction of b→+a→ 

The direction ofb-ais given by the angle subtended by it with x axis which is

tan=dydx=3.28-7.29=tan-1-4.50=24.224

Therefore, the direction of b-ais at24.
