Question

Graphically find the resultant vector for the vectors given on your paper worksheet. You should show the graphical calculation on the worksheet to receive full credit and then enter your answers in the boxes below. If you do not get the answer correct, then it is very likely that you have drawn at least one of the vectors incorrectly on your paper calculation. Be sure you have a scale on your drawing and that you carefully use a ruler and a protractor to do the calculation. A larger drawing will give a more accurate answer.

The given vectors are:

: 35 m at 15 : 16 m at 260 : 14 m at 135

Explanation / Answer

sum x components
35*cos(15) + 16*cos(260) + 14*cos(135)=21.13

sum y components
35*sin(15) + 16*sin(260) + 14*sin(135)=3.2

mag = sqrt(21.13^2 + 3.2^2)=21.37

angle = arctan( 3.2/21.13)=8.612 degrees
