- Show your step by step solutions. 6. With a wooden ruler, you measure the length of a rectangular piece of sheet metal to be 16 mm. With micrometer calipers, you measure the width of the rectangle to be 5.98 mm. Consider 4 significant figures only. Determine: (a) the area of the rectangle; (b) the ratio of the rectangle's width to its length; (c) the perimeter of the rectangle;arrow_forwardTwo dogs, Ajax and Bandit, are pulling a Radio Flyer wagon carrying their best cat friend, Casper. the overhead view of the dog force vectors is shown to scale in the grid at the right. (Assume 4 significant figures.) a. Find the single force that is equivalent to the two forces shown. b. If that old rusty wagon DOES NOT MOVE, find the force (including direction) that the ground exerts on the wagon to keep it in place, in spite of the dogs. The forces are measured in units of newtons (N). (You may use EITHER geometry OR vector addition with Cartesian or polarcoordinates. Either way, a diagram to scale is required. Be sure to JUSTIFY whyyour answer to part b is the opposite of your answer to part a.)arrow_forwardHELP FILLING IN BLANKS IN THE PROCEDURE. Procedure 4: Adding Vectors Graphically If you use a ruler and a protractor to draw a series of vectors to scale, the resultant will run from the beginning of the first vector to the end of the last vector. In the picture below, measure the lengths and angles of vectors A, B and C and record these in the 2nd and 3rd columns on the datasheet. Remember to measure angles CCW from the positive x axis. Using cos and sin, calculate the x and y components of vectors A, B and C and record these in the last two columns on the datasheet. Add the x components in the next-to-last column and the y-components in the last column Use Pythagorean Theorem and ArcTan to calculate the magnitude and direction of R Measure the length and angle of vector R Confirm that these two measurements of R match "Fixing the angle" After you do the "four step method" to add vectors, you sometimes have to "fix the angle". Remember that we always start…arrow_forward
- just need help with part (c) and part (d)arrow_forwardthe resultant vector is the result of combining 3D + C. Determine the magnitude of this resultant vector. *show steps, i've gotten 3.6, 5.6, 11 - all these values are wrong.arrow_forwardVectors Resolve each force vector into its components; enter the result into the cells of the table below. (Use - signs for a negative direction.) Then sum the columns to determine the resultant's x- and y-components. Enter these values into the table with the appropriate + or - sign. Finally determine the magnitude and the direction of the resultant force. Note that inthis context, N stands for 'Newton' (which is a unit of force, like pound), not 'North'.arrow_forward
- A jet plane travels towards a ground-based radar dish. Radar locates the jet plane at a distance D = 11 km from the dish, at an angle θ = 46° above horizontal. 1.) What is the jet plane’s horizontal distance, DH in meters, from the radar dish? 2.)What is the jet plane's vertical distance, DV in meters, above the radar dish? 3.)Write an expression for the distance vector, D, in rectangular form in terms of D and θ, in a coordinate system with the dish at the origin and the unit vectors i and j in the horizontal and vertical directions.

Resolve the force vector F into vector components parallel and perpendicular to the position vector T DA- Express each of these vectors in Cartesian components. NOTE: The parallel component of the force is the same as the force along that direction. The perpendicular component of the force can be found from the relationship: parallel * perpendicular = Ftotal 2013 Michael Swanbom d values for dimensions on the figure are given in the table below.
