20.

Vectors A and B are RIGHT angles.Determine the magnitude and the direction of the resultant relative to vector A.

*******A= 34.2 , B= 15.3

The resultant magnitude, R, is __________.

Solution

Magnitude of resultant = sqrt of ( A^2 + B^2)

R= sqrt of ( 34.2^2 + 15.3^2)
= sqrt of ( 1169.64 + 234.09 )
= sqrt of ( 1403.73 )
= 37.47

The resultant magnitude, R, is 37.47
