- Starting at the origin of coordinates, the following displacements are made in the xy-plane (that is, the displacements are coplanar): 60 mm in the +y-direction, 30 mm in the -x-direction, 40 mm at 150°, and 50 mm at 240°. Find the resultant displacement both graphically and algebraically.arrow_forwardGiven the following data, draw in a cartesian plane, the resulting vector,and it's three director anglesarrow_forwardAnswer using GRAPHICAL METHOD.
