Question

A vector of magnitude 10 has its rectangular components as 8 and 6 along x and y axes. Find the angle it make with these axes.

Open in App

Solution

$t a n θ = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}, θ = 34^{\circ}$
(with +ive x axis)
( $β = 90 - θ = 53^{\circ}$ with y-axes)

with respect to the new system, then

p = - 1

Reason: Magnitude of the original vector and the new vector remains the same.
