Answer to Problem 15WE

Themagnitude of w is 155  and its bearing is 41.2 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  u: magnitude 117, bearing 130v: magnitude  102, bearing 220w: u+v

Calculation:

Considerthe given information:

  u: magnitude 117, bearing 130v: magnitude  102, bearing 220w: u+v

The angle is:

  50+α+40=180α+90=180α=18090α=90 .

Now solve for cos law.

  a2=b2+c22bccosθ

As apply the values in the cos law.

  w2=1172+10222(117)(102)cos90w2=13689+10404w2=24093w=24093w=155

Now,

  sinθ102=sin90155

Now apply the values of sin90=1 :

  sinθ102=1155

By cross multiplication:

  sinθ=0.6580θ=41.2

The magnitude of w is 155  and its bearing is 41.2 .

Thus, the magnitude of w is 155  and its bearing is 41.2 .
