### Vector Projections and Magnitude Calculation

#### (b) Calculate the Projections of \(\overrightarrow{OP}\)

To project the vector \(\overrightarrow{OP}\) along the \(x'\) and \(y'\) directions:

- Enter the projection on the \(x'\) axis: \((\overrightarrow{OP})_{x'} =\) [Input Box] cm
- Enter the projection on the \(y'\) axis: \((\overrightarrow{OP})_{y'} =\) [Input Box] cm

Ensure values are entered to 2 significant figures.

---

#### (c) Use the Projections to Calculate Magnitude along \(x\) and \(y\) Directions

To find the magnitude of \(\overrightarrow{OP}\):

\[ \overrightarrow{OP} = \sqrt{((OP)_x)^2 + ((OP)_y)^2} \]

- Enter the magnitude: \(OP =\) [Input Box] cm

Values should be entered to 2 significant figures.

---

#### (d) Use the Projections to Calculate Magnitude along \(x'\) and \(y'\) Directions

Similarly, to calculate the magnitude of \(\overrightarrow{OP}\) along the \(x'\) and \(y'\) directions:

\[ \overrightarrow{OP} = \sqrt{((OP)_{x'})^2 + ((OP)_{y'})^2} \]

- Enter the magnitude: \(OP =\) [Input Box] cm

Values should be entered to 2 significant figures.

### Problem Statement:

Please answer the following question(s):

1. 

The vector \(\overrightarrow{OP}\) shown in the figure has a length of 4.0 cm. Two sets of perpendicular axes, \(x-y\) and \(x'-y'\), are shown. Express \(\overrightarrow{OP}\) in terms of its \(x\) and \(y\) components in each set of axes.

#### (a) Calculate the projections of \(\overrightarrow{OP}\) along the \(x\) and \(y\) directions.

Enter to 2 significant figures:

\[
(\overrightarrow{OP})_x = \_\_\_\, \text{cm}
\]

\[
(\overrightarrow{OP})_y = \_\_\_\, \text{cm}
\]

### Graph Explanation:

The provided diagram shows two sets of axes: \(x-y\) and \(x'-y'\). Both sets are perpendicular to each other. The vector \(\overrightarrow{OP}\) originates at point \(O\) and terminates at point \(P\). The diagram indicates that the vector makes an angle of 30 degrees with both the \(x\) and \(x'\) axes.

In detail:

- The \(x\) and \(x'\) axes are horizontal.
- The \(y\) and \(y'\) axes are vertical.
- \(\overrightarrow{OP}\) is directed at an angle of 30 degrees upwards from the \(x\) axis.
- An identical angle of 30 degrees is shown from the \(x'\) axis in the rotated coordinate system.
