Chapter 5, Problem 50A
To determine

Resultant vectors are affected or notwhen two displacement vectors are added in a different order.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 50A

No it is not affected.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Aquantity which has magnitude and direction is represented by vector. When displacement vectors are added, resultant vector is obtained. The vector should be of same quantity.

The addition of vector is commutative.

Suppose vector A and B are added then

A+B = B + A

So, the resultantdisplacement vector does not change.

Conclusion:

Resultant displacement vector not get affected.
