19. Many of the operations are done eciently on most modern graphical calculators using their built-in
vector manipulation and rectangular
(a) Using unit-vector notation,
a = 50 cos (30 )i + 50 sin (30 )j
b = 50 cos (195 )i + 50 sin (195 )j
c = 50 cos (315 )i + 50 sin (315 )j
a + b + c =30 . 4 i
23 . 3 j .

(b) The two possibilities presented by a simple calculation for the angle between the vector described
in part (a) and the + x direction are tan 1 (
37 . 5 ) = 142 . 5 .
The former possibility is the correct answer since the vector is in the fourth quadrant (indicated
by the signs of its components). Thus, the angle is

37 . 5 , which is to say that it is roughly 38
clockwise from the + x axis. This is equivalent to 322 . 5 counterclockwise from + x .

the latter possibility as the correct one since it indicates that d is in the second quadrant (indicated
by the signs of its components).

methods (such as Eq. 3-6). Where the length unit is not displayed, the unit meter should be understood.
