Question

P1 Describe a typical scale that you might use for drawing force vectors on a piece of paper, e.g., how long might you choose to make a 1-N force? Assume that your forces are from 5 to 10 newtons, and pick a scale that results in a drawing that is as big as it can be (for maximum precision) while still fitting orn a piece of paper P2 Thinking ahead to your analytic addition of the forces, which of the following would be the most con- venient form in which to have your angle measure- ments? - (1) the angles of the four "pie slices," (2) the angle of each string measured clockwise around the table, or (3) the angle of each string measured counterclockwise around the table.

Explanation / Answer

P1) The best and typical scale to represent a force vector is "LENGTH" scale because it is arbitary. So that the vector graph fits nicely on the paper. Mostly many consider the scale 1cm:1N scale. here the scaling factor is 10N/cm.

P2) option 2 is the most convinent form of measuring angles.
