Friday, June 29, 20071. by looking at the fgure given, make a right angle that enclosed each vectors.
2. Then, depending on the given values, perform the trigonometric functions (SOHCAHTOA).
3. You can now solve for the value of x and y component.
4. To get the resultant vector simply add all the x-components of the vectors and all the y-components of all the vector.
5. Using the x and y components compute the magnitude of the resultant vector by using the Pythagorean Theorem then the direction will be given by any of the trigonometric functios.
