Get started for freeWhile exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the entrance and moves the following distances in a horizontal plane. She goes north, east, at an angle north of east, and south. Find her resultant displacement from the cave entrance. Figure P3.21 suggests the situation but is not drawn to scale.
Three displacement vectors andshown on figure both have magnitudes of 3.00m. The direction of vector is . Find graphically
a) b) c) d) (Report all angles counterclockwise from the positive x axis.)
A fly lands on one wall of a room. The lower - left corner of the wall is selected as the origin of a two - dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. If the fly is located at the point having coordinates (2.00, 1.00)m,
In Figure P3.55, a spider is resting after starting to spin its web. The gravitational force on the spider makes it exert a downward force of on the junction of the three strands of silk. The junction is supported by different tension forces in the two strands above it so that the resultant force on the junction is zero. The two sloping strands are perpendicular, and we have chosen the xand ydirections to be along them. The tensionis. Find
(a) the tension,
(b) the angle the x axis makes with the horizontal, and
(c) the angle the y axis makes with the horizontal.
The rectangle shown in Figure P3.56 has sides parallel to the xand yaxes. The position vectors of two corners are at andat
