Math Problem Statement
Given the three vectors π, πβ and π , draw vector diagrams showing the sums: a. π + πβ and (π + πβ ) + π b. πβ + π and π + (πβ + π
Solution
To draw vector diagrams for the given sums, we need to follow the vector addition principles. Here's the explanation for each part:
a. Sum of π + πβ and (π + πβ) + π
-
π + πβ: To represent the sum of vectors π and πβ, place the tail of vector πβ at the head of vector π (or vice versa), then draw the resultant vector from the tail of π to the head of πβ. This vector represents π + πβ.
-
(π + πβ) + π: Now, take the resultant of π + πβ and add the vector π. To do this, place the tail of vector π at the head of the resultant vector π + πβ. Draw the resultant vector from the tail of π to the head of π + πβ + π.
b. Sum of πβ + π and π + (πβ + π)
-
πβ + π: Place the tail of vector π at the head of vector πβ, and the resultant vector will go from the tail of πβ to the head of π. This vector represents πβ + π.
-
π + (πβ + π): Now, take the vector π and add the resultant of πβ + π. Place the tail of vector π at the tail of the resultant vector πβ + π, and then draw the resultant vector from the tail of π to the head of π + (πβ + π).
I can generate vector diagrams for you if you'd like to visualize these sums! Would you like me to do that?
