Two vectors P and Q of magnitudes 5 and 3 units respectively are inclined at an angle of 30 to each other.calculate the component of the resultant in the direction of Q.

Make your sketch.

Method 1, complete the parallelogram and find the diagonal
x^2 = 5^2 + 3^2 - 2(5)(3)cos 150°
= 59.9807...
x = appr 7.74

(exact value: x^2 = 34 + 30√3/2
= 34 + 15√3
x = √(34 + 15√3) )

method 2
place vector P along the horizontal
so vector P = (5,0)
vector Q is (3cos30, 3sin30)
P+Q = (5,0) + (3√3/2, 3/2)
= ( 5+3√3/2 , 3/2)

maginitude = √( (5+3√3/2)^2 + 9/4 ) = appr 7.44
same as above
