Check Your understanding Using the three displacement vectors A , B , and F in Figure 2.13, choose a convenient scale, and use a ruler and a protractor to find vector G given by the vector equation G=A+2BF . The three displacement vectors A , B , and C in Figure are specified by their magnitudes A=10.0,B=7.0 and C=8.0 , respectively, and by their respective direction angles with the horizontal direction =35,=110 , and =30 . The physical units of the magnitudes are centimeters. Choose a convenient scale and use a ruler and a protractor to find the following vector sums: (a) R=A+B , (b) D=AB , and (c) S=A3B+C .
