Question

for the vectors given in the following figure, use a graphical method to find the following resultants: (a) a⃗ b⃗ , (b) c⃗ b⃗ , (c) d⃗ f⃗ , (d) a⃗ −b⃗ , (e)

Answer 1

To find the resultants of the given vectors using a graphical method, follow these steps: Draw each vector to scale, starting from a common point and ending at the desired point. Draw the resultant vector by connecting the tail of the first vector with the head of the last vector. Measure the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector using a ruler and a protractor. Repeat these steps for each set of vectors to find their respective resultants.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the resultants of the given vectors using a graphical method, follow these steps:

1. Draw each vector to scale, starting from a common point (also called the tail) and ending at the desired point (also called the head).
2. Draw the resultant vector by connecting the tail of the first vector with the head of the last vector.
3. Measure the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector using a ruler and a protractor.

Repeat these steps for each set of vectors to find their respective resultants.
