You are to program a robotic arm on an assembly line to move in the xy-plane. Its first displacement is A; its second displacement is B, of magnitude 10.00 cm and direction 74.2 deg measured in the sense from the +x-axis toward the -y-axis. The resultant C = A + B of the two displacement s should also have a magnitude of 10.00 cm, but a direction 41.6 deg measured in the sense from the +x-axis toward the +y-axis. (a) Find the magnitude of A. (b) Find the angle of vector A from the +x-axis.
