Four displacement vectors, A, B, C, and D, are shown in the diagram below. Their magnitudes are:  A = 16.2 m, B = 11.0 m, C = 12.0 m, and D =  24.0 m

What is the magnitude, in meters, and direction, in degrees, of the resultant vector sum of A, B, C, and D?

Give the direction as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x direction.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Solution :- As the figure is missing in the given problem, therefore the following figure can be taken for the better understanding of the question with reference to the vectors :

Thus, the magnitude of the resultant vector sum of A, B, C and D is 12.994 metres which in round figure is 13 metres.

Also, direction or the directional angle is 42.153 degrees.
