Answer to Problem 15PPS
Magnitude of given vector
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
Here given vector is
For finding out Magnitude and direction of given vector, initially write vector in component form.
Now use Pythagoras theorem to find magnitude.
Now to find direction and
An undefined slope means that the vector points straight u p or down.
In case this plot on graph, then it sis observed that vector points down so the direction is
Direction of
Hence, Magnitude and direction of given vector
