Magnitude and direction of u + v + w is equals to 57.871 and 19°.
What is vectors?
"Vectors are those quantity of which represents both direction as well magnitude."
According to the question,
As shown in diagram we have,
u + v + w
= (wcos30°)[tex]\^{i}[/tex] + (wsin30°)[tex]\^{j}[/tex] +(vcos20°)[tex]\^{j}[/tex] - (vsin40°)[tex]\^{i}[/tex] -(ucos40°)[tex]\^{i}[/tex] -(usin40°)[tex]\^{j}[/tex]
= ( wcos30° - vsin40° - ucos40°)[tex]\^{i}[/tex] + (wsin30°+ vcos20° - usin40°)[tex]\^{j}[/tex]
Substitute the value of ║w║ = 40 ,║v║=60,and ║u║= 90 we get,
u + v +w
= ( 40cos30° - 60sin40° - 90cos40°)[tex]\^{i}[/tex] + (40sin30°+ 60cos20° - 90sin40°)[tex]\^{j}[/tex]
= (20√3 - 20.5212 - 68.9440)[tex]\^{i}[/tex] + ( 20 +56.3816 - 57.8509)[tex]\^{j}[/tex]
= ( -54.8242)[tex]\^{i}[/tex] + (18.5307)[tex]\^{j}[/tex]
Therefore,
Magnitude = √(-54.8242)² +(18.5307)²
=√3349.0798
= 57.8712
tanθ = ( 0.3380)
⇒θ = tan⁻¹ (0.3380)
= 18.67
≈ 19°
Hence, magnitude and direction of u + v + w is equals to 57.871 and 19°.
