Represent graphically a displacement of $40 \, km,$ $30^\circ$ west of south.
(N/A) To represent the displacement of $40 \, km,$ $30^\circ$ west of south graphically:
$1$. Draw a coordinate system with North $(N)$,South $(S)$,East $(E)$,and West $(W)$ directions.
$2$. Choose a suitable scale,for example,$1 \, cm = 10 \, km$. Thus,$40 \, km$ corresponds to a length of $4 \, cm$.
$3$. Start from the origin $O$ and draw a line segment $OP$ of length $4 \, cm$ in the direction $30^\circ$ west of south (i.e.,starting from the South axis and moving $30^\circ$ towards the West).
$4$. The vector $\vec{OP}$ represents the required displacement of $40 \, km,$ $30^\circ$ west of south.

View SolutionLet $A(3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k})$ and $B(13 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+9 \hat{k})$ be two points on a line $L$. $C$ and $D$ are points on $L$ on either side of $A$ at distances of $9$ and $6$ units respectively, and $C$ lies between $A$ and $B$. Then the position vectors of $C$ and $D$ are respectively:
Suppose that $\bar{p}, \bar{q}$ and $\bar{r}$ are three non-coplanar vectors in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Let the components of a vector $\bar{s}$ along $\bar{p}, \bar{q}$ and $\bar{r}$ be $4, 3$ and $5$ respectively. If the components of this vector $\bar{s}$ along $(-\bar{p}+\bar{q}+\bar{r}), (\bar{p}-\bar{q}+\bar{r})$ and $(-\bar{p}-\bar{q}+\bar{r})$ are $x, y$ and $z$ respectively,then the value of $2x+y+z$ is
If $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ are non-zero vectors which are linearly dependent such that $\frac{|\vec{a} + \vec{b}|}{|\vec{a} - \vec{b}|} = 2$ and $|\vec{b}| > |\vec{a}|$,then:
Let $O$ be the origin, $\vec{OP} = \vec{a}$ and $\vec{OQ} = \vec{b}$. If $R$ is the point on $\vec{OP}$ such that $\vec{OP} = 5\vec{OR}$, and $M$ is the point such that $\vec{OQ} = 5\vec{RM}$, then $\vec{PM}$ is equal to:
