Concept explainers
To Calculate: The sum of three vectors.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Vector K
Vector M
Vector L
Formula Used:
For addition of vectors, add the components of each vector in same direction and then find the resultant.
Horizontal and vertical components of a vector A can be obtained by:
Resultant can be obtained by:
The angle of the resultant from the horizontal can beobtained by:
Calculation:
Components of vector K :
Components of vector M :
Components of vector L :
Component of resultant in x -direction:
Component of resultant in y -direction:
Magnitude of resultant can be calculated as follows:
The angle of the resultant from the horizontal can be calculated as follows:
Conclusion:
Thus, the magnitude and direction of the ant’s displacement is
