Add vectors A,B and C each having magnitude of 100 unit and inclined to the X-axis at angles 450,1350 and 3150 respectively.

Solution

x component of A = 100 cos 450=1002 unit

x component of B = 100 cos 1350=1002

x component of C = 100 cos 3150

= 100 cos 450 = 1002

Reulstant x component

= 10021002+1002=1002

Now, y component of A= 100 sin 450=1002

y comoponent of B= 100 sin 1350=1002

y comoponent of C= 100 sin 1350=1002

Resultant y component

= 1002+10021002

=1002

Resultant = (1002)2+(1002)2

= 10000 = 100

tan α=y compx comp

= 10021002=1

α=tan1(1)=450

The resultant is 100 unit, at 450 with x axis.
