Multiple Concept Example 9 provides background pertinent to this problem. The magnitudes of the four displacement vectors shown in the drawing are A = 14.0 m, B = 11.0 m, C = 12.0 m, and D = 28.0 m. Determine the (a) magnitude and (b) direction for the resultant that occurs when these vectors are added together. Specify the direction as a positive (counterclockwise) angle from the +x axis.
The figure shows an x y coordinate system with the origin at the point of intersection of the x and y axes. A vector A has its tail at the origin and its head in the second quadrant and makes an angle of 20 degree with the negative x axis. A vector B has its tail at the origin and points vertically upward along the positive y axis. A vector C has its tail at the origin and its head in the third quadrant and makes an angle of 35 degree with the negative x axis. A vector D has its tail at the origin and its head in the fourth quadrant and makes an angle of 50 degree with the positive x axis.
