Question

What are the x and y components of the vector that must be added to the following three vectors, so that the sum of the four vectors is zero? Due east is the +x direction, and due north is the +y direction.

What are the x and y components of the vector that must be added to the following three vectors, so that the sum of the four vectors is zero? Due east is the +x direction, and due north is the +y direction. A = 188 units, 60.0 degree south of west B = 172 units, 35.0 degree south of east C = 237 units, 23.0 degree north of east

Explanation / Answer

x-component = -188*cos60 + 172*cos35 + 237*cos23 = 265.05 units (due east)
y-component = -188*sin60 - 172*sin35 + 237*sin23 = -169.41 units (ie.due south)
