a. The resultant is equivalent in magnitude to the hypotenuse, h, of the triangle with 5 and 12 as sides and is directed northeast at an angle of sin21 h . Thus, the resultant is "52 1 122 5 13 N at an angle of sin21 12 13 5 N 22.6 E. The equlibrant is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction of the resultant.

This is the angle between the vectors when placed head to tail. So the angle between the vectors when placed tail to tail is 180 2 120 5 60. 12. The 10 N force and the 5 N force result in a 5 N force east. The 9 N force and the 14 N force result in a 5 N force south.

For these three equal forces to be in equilibrium, they must form an equilateral triangle. Since the resultant will lie along one of these lines, and since all angles 7-4

Let T1 be the tension in the 30 rope and T2 be the tension in the 45 rope. Since this system is in equilibrium, we know that the horizontal components of T1 and T2 are equal and opposite and the vertical components add to be opposite the action of the mass. Also, the force produced by the mass is (20 kg)(9.8 N> kg) 5 196 N. So we have a system of two equations: the first, ( T1 ) cos 30 5 ( T2 ) cos 45 represents the balance of the horizontal components, and the second, ( T1 ) sin 30 1 ( T2 ) sin 45 5 196 represents the balance of the vertical components with the mass. So solving this system of two equations with two variable gives the desired tensions.

(Port means left and starboard means right.) We are looking for the resultant of these two force vectors that are 35 apart. We dont know the exact value of the force, so we will call it x.

Let u5N be the angle from the 5 N force to the resultant, u8N be the angle from the 8 N force to the resultant, and u10N be the angle from the 10 N force to the resultant.

This results in a net of 22.6 1 15 5 37.6, or N 37.6 W. 7. a. First we find the components of the resultant directed north and directed west. The component directed north is the velocity of the airplane, 800, minus 100 sin 45, since the wind forms a 45 angle south of west. The western component of the resultant is simply 100 cos 45. So we use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude, m, of the resultant and the definition of sine to find the angle, u, of the resultant. m 2 5 (800 2 100 sin 45)2 1 (100 cos 45)2 8 (729.29)2 1 (71.71)2 8 536 863.8082 m 8 732.71 km> h Use the sine law to determine the direction. sin u sin 45 5 100 732.71 u 8 5.5 The direction is N 5.5 W.

b. The airplane is travelling at approximately 732.71 km> h, so in 1 hour the airplane will travel about 732.71 km. 8. a. First we find the velocity of the airplane.

To find the angle, u, the airplane travels, we use the definition of sine. 100 sin u 5 461 100 u 5 sin21 461 8 12.5 east of north. 9. a. To find the angle, u, at which to fly is the equivalent of the angle of a right triangle with 44 as the opposite leg and 244 as the hypotenuse. So we use the definition of sine to find this angle. 44 sin u 5 244 44 u 5 sin21 244 8 10.4 south of west. b. By the Pythagorean Theorem, the resultant ground speed of the airplane is " (2442 2 442 ) 5 240 km> h. Since time 5 distance> rate, the duration of the flight is simply (480 km)> (240 km> h) 5 2 h. 10. a. Since Judy is swimming perpendicular to the flow of the river, her resultant velocity is simply the hypotenuse of a right triangle with 3 and 4 as bases, which is a 3-4-5 right triangle. Thus, Judys resultant velocity is 5 km> h. The direction is determined by tan u 5 4 3 . u 8 53.1 downstream b. Judys distance traveled down the river would be the 4 leg of the 3-4-5 triangle formed by the vectors, but scaled down so that 1m (the width of the river) is equivalent to the 3 leg. So her distance traveled is 4 3 8 1.33 km. This makes her about 0.67 km from Helens cottage. c. While in the river, Judy is swimming at 5 km> h for a distance of 5 3 km. Since time 5 distance> rate, her time taken is 5 3 km 5 1 hours 5 20 minutes. 5 km> h 3 7-7

a. and b. Here, 205 km> h directed 30 north of east is the resultant of 212 km> h directed east, and the wind speed, v, directed at some angle. This problem is more easily approached finding the wind speed, v, first. So we will do that using the cosine law. v 2 5 2052 1 2122 2 2(205)(212) cos 30 5 42 025 1 44 944 2 86 920 cos 30 5 86 969 2 75 275 5 11 694 v 5 "11 694 8 108 km> h Now to find the winds direction, we simply find the angle supplementary to the lesser angle, u, formed by the parallelogram of these three velocities. We can use the sine law for this. sin u sin 30 5 205 108 sin 30 sin u 5 205 a b 108 sin 30 u 5 sin21 a 205 a bb 108 8 71.6 Thus, the direction of v is the angle supplementary to u in the parallelogram: 180 2 71.6 5 108.4 5 18.4 west of north. 12.

212 km/h

Since her swimming speed is a maximum of 4 km> h, this is her maximum resultant magnitude, which is also the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by her and the rivers velocity vector. Since one of these legs is 5 km> h, we have a triangle with a leg larger than its hypotenuse, which is impossible. 13. a. First we need to find Marys resultant velocity, v. Since this resultant is the diagonal of the parallelogram formed by hers and the rivers velocity, we can use the cosine law with the angle, u, of the parallelogram adjacent 30. 7-8

Since Mary is travelling at 3 m>s at an angle of 30, to find the component of her velocity, v, perpendicular to the current, we use the definition of sine. v 5 3 sin 30 1 5 3a b 2 5 1.5 m> s perpendicular to the current. So since time 5 distance> rate, the time taken is (150 m)> (1.5 m> s) 5 100 s. 14. a. So we have a 5.5 m> s vector and a 4 m> s vector with a resultant vector that is directed 45 south of west. Letting u be the angle between the 4 km> h vector and the resultant, we can construct a parallelogram using these three vectors and a subsequent triangle with u opposite the 5.5 m> s vector and 45 opposite the 4 m> s vector. We now use the sine law to find u. sin u sin 45 5 5.5 4 sin 45 sin u 5 5.5 a b 4 sin 45 u 5 sin21 a 5.5 a bb 4 8 76.5 from the resultant. Since the resultant is 45 west of south, Daves direction is 76.5 1 45 5 121.5 west of south, which is equivalent to about 180 2 121.5 5 58.5 upstream. b. First, we find the magnitude, m, of Daves 4 m> s velocity in the direction perpendicular to the river. This is done using the definition of sine. m 5 4 sin 58.5 8 3.41 m> s perpendicular to the river. Since time is distance> rate, we have (200 m)> (3.41 m> s) 8 58.6 s. 15. Let b represent the speed of the steamboat and c represent the speed of the current. On the way downstream, the effective speed is b 1 c, and upstream is b 2 c. The distance upstream and downstream is the same, so 5( b 1 c ) 5 7( b 2 c ). So, b 5 6c. This means that the speed of the boat is 6 times the speed of the current. So, (6c 1 c ) ? 5

or 35c is the distance. This means that it would take a raft 35 hours moving with the speed of the current to get from A to B.

Any vector in the yz>-plane is of the form > e 5 (0, e2, e3 ). Let f 5 (1, 0, 0). > > e ? f 5 (1)(0) 1 (0)( e2 ) 1 (0)( e3 ) 50 Therefore (1, 0, 0) is perpendicular to every vector in the yz-plane. 4. a. (1, 2, 2 1) ?

Comparing the signs of the individual components of each vector eliminates (1, 2, 2 1) and ( 5, 2 3, 2 5 6 ) . All of the components of ( 2 4, 2 5, 2 6) have the same sign and the same is true for (4, 3, 10), but (4, 3, 10) is not a scalar multiple of ( 2 4, 2 5, 2 6). Therefore none of the vectors are collinear. 5. a. Using the strategy of Example 5 yields ( x, y ) ? (1, 2 2) 5 0 and ( x, y ) ? (1, 1) 5 0 x 2 2y 5 0 and x 1 y 5 0 3y 5 0 Therefore the only result is x 5 y 5 0, or (0, 0). This is because (1, 2 2) and (1, 1) both lie on the xy-plane and are not collinear, so any vector that is perpendicular to both vectors must be in R 3 which does not exist in R 2. b. If we select any two vectors that are not collinear in R 2, then any vector that is perpendicular to both cannot be in R 2 and must be in R 3. This is not possible since R 3 does not exist in R 2. > > a?b 6. a. cos u 5 > > 0 a 0 @b@ (5)( 2 1) 1 (3)( 2 2) 5 "25 1 9"1 1 4 2 11 5 " (34)(5) 2 11 5 "170 u 8 148 > > a?b b. cos u 5 > > 0 a 0 @b@ ( 2 1)(6) 1 (4)( 2 2) 5 "1 1 16"36 1 4 2 14 5 "680 u 8 123

Since the airplanes velocity is perpendicular to the wind, the resultants magnitude is given by the Pythagorean theorem: > @ R @ 5 "10002 1 1002 > @ R @ 8 1004.99 The angle is determined using the tangent ratio: 100 tan /EDF 5 1000 /EDF 8 5.7 Thus, the resultant velocity is 1004.99 km> h, N 5.7 W (or W 84.3 N). 5. a. The canoeist will travel 200 m across the stream, so the total time he will paddle is: d t5 rcanoeist 200 m t5 2.5 m> s t 5 80 s The current is flowing 1.2 m> s downstream, so the distance that the canoeist travels downstream is: d 5 rcurrent 3 t d 5 (1.2 m> s)(80 s) d 5 96 m So, the canoeist will drift 96 m south. b. In order to arrive directly across stream, the canoeist must take into account the change in his velocity caused by the current. That is, he must initially paddle upstream in a direction such that the resultant velocity is directed straight across the stream. The resultant velocity:

Let T1 be the tension in the 30 rope and T2 be the tension in the 45 rope. Since this system is in equilibrium, we know that the horizontal components of T1 and T2 are equal and opposite and the vertical components add to be opposite the action of the mass. Also, the force produced by the mass is (20 kg)(9.8 N> kg) 5 196 N. So we have a system of two equations: the first, ( T1 ) cos 30 5 ( T2 ) cos 45 represents the balance of the horizontal components, and the second, ( T1 ) sin 30 1 ( T2 ) sin 45 5 196 represents the balance of the vertical components with the mass. So solving this system of two equations with two variable gives the desired tensions.

To find each angle, use the definition of cosine with respect each force as a leg and the resultant as the hypotenuse. Let u5N be the angle from the 5 N force to the resultant, u8N be the angle from the 8 N force to the resultant, and u10N be the angle from the 10 N force to the resultant. Let the sign of the resultant be negative, since it is in a direction away from the head of each of the given forces. 5 cos u5N 5 2 13.75 5 u5N 5 cos21 a b 2 13.75 8 111.3 8 cos u8N 5 2 13.75 8 u8N 5 cos21 a b 2 13.75 8 125.6 10 cos u10N 5 2 13.75

4. Adam must swim at an angle, u, upstream so as to counter the 1 km> h velocity of the stream. This is equivalent to Adam swimming along the hypotenuse of a right traingle with 1 km> h leg and a 2 km> h hypotenuse. So the angle is found using the definition of cosine. 1 cos u 5 2 1 u 5 cos21 2 5 60 upstream 5. a. 2 m> s forward b. 20 m> s 1 2 m> s 5 22 m> s in the direction of the car 6. Since the two velocities are at right angles we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude, m, of the resultant velocity and we use the definition of sine to find the angle, u, made. m 2 5 122 1 52 5 144 1 25 5 169 m 5 "169 5 13 m> s 5 sin u 5 13 5 u 5 sin21 13 8 22.6 from the direction of the boat toward the direction of the current. This results in a net of 22.6 1 15 5 37.6, or N 37.6 W. 7. a. First we find the components of the resultant directed north and directed west. The component directed north is the velocity of the airplane, 800, minus 100 sin 45, since the wind forms a 45 angle south of west. The western component of the resultant is simply 100 cos 45. So we use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude, m, of the resultant and the definition of sine to find the angle, u, of the resultant. m 2 5 (800 2 100 sin 45)2 1 (100 cos 45)2 8 (729.29)2 1 (71.71)2 8 536 863.8082 m 8 732.71 km> h Use the sine law to determine the direction. sin u sin 45 5 100 732.71 u 8 5.5 The direction is N 5.5 W.

b. The airplane is travelling at approximately 732.71 km> h, so in 1 hour the airplane will travel about 732.71 km. 8. a. First we find the velocity of the airplane. We use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude, m, of the resultant. m 2 5 4502 1 1002 5 202 500 1 10 000 5 212 500 m 5 "212 500 8 461 km> h So in 3 hours, the airplane will travel about (461 km> h)(3 h) 5 1383 km. b. To find the angle, u, the airplane travels, we use the definition of sine. 100 sin u 5 461 100 u 5 sin21 461 8 12.5 east of north. 9. a. To find the angle, u, at which to fly is the equivalent of the angle of a right triangle with 44 as the opposite leg and 244 as the hypotenuse. So we use the definition of sine to find this angle. 44 sin u 5 244 44 u 5 sin21 244 8 10.4 south of west. b. By the Pythagorean Theorem, the resultant ground speed of the airplane is " (2442 2 442 ) 5 240 km> h. Since time 5 distance> rate, the duration of the flight is simply (480 km)> (240 km> h) 5 2 h. 10. a. Since Judy is swimming perpendicular to the flow of the river, her resultant velocity is simply the hypotenuse of a right triangle with 3 and 4 as bases, which is a 3-4-5 right triangle. Thus, Judys resultant velocity is 5 km> h. The direction is determined by tan u 5 4 3 . u 8 53.1 downstream b. Judys distance traveled down the river would be the 4 leg of the 3-4-5 triangle formed by the vectors, but scaled down so that 1m (the width of the river) is equivalent to the 3 leg. So her distance traveled is 4 3 8 1.33 km. This makes her about 0.67 km from Helens cottage. c. While in the river, Judy is swimming at 5 km> h for a distance of 5 3 km. Since time 5 distance> rate, her time taken is 5 3 km 5 1 hours 5 20 minutes. 5 km> h 3 7-7

a. and b. Here, 205 km> h directed 30 north of east is the resultant of 212 km> h directed east, and the wind speed, v, directed at some angle. This problem is more easily approached finding the wind speed, v, first. So we will do that using the cosine law. v 2 5 2052 1 2122 2 2(205)(212) cos 30 5 42 025 1 44 944 2 86 920 cos 30 5 86 969 2 75 275 5 11 694 v 5 "11 694 8 108 km> h Now to find the winds direction, we simply find the angle supplementary to the lesser angle, u, formed by the parallelogram of these three velocities. We can use the sine law for this. sin u sin 30 5 205 108 sin 30 sin u 5 205 a b 108 sin 30 u 5 sin21 a 205 a bb 108 8 71.6 Thus, the direction of v is the angle supplementary to u in the parallelogram: 180 2 71.6 5 108.4 5 18.4 west of north. 12.

212 km/h

Since her swimming speed is a maximum of 4 km> h, this is her maximum resultant magnitude, which is also the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by her and the rivers velocity vector. Since one of these legs is 5 km> h, we have a triangle with a leg larger than its hypotenuse, which is impossible. 13. a. First we need to find Marys resultant velocity, v. Since this resultant is the diagonal of the parallelogram formed by hers and the rivers velocity, we can use the cosine law with the angle, u, of the parallelogram adjacent 30. 7-8

v 2 5 32 1 42 2 2(3)(4) cos 150 5 9 1 16 2 24 cos 150 5 25 1 20.8 5 45.8 v 5 "45.8 8 6.8 m> s So in 10 seconds, Mary travels about (6.8 m> s)(10 s) 5 68 m. b. Since Mary is travelling at 3 m>s at an angle of 30, to find the component of her velocity, v, perpendicular to the current, we use the definition of sine. v 5 3 sin 30 1 5 3a b 2 5 1.5 m> s perpendicular to the current. So since time 5 distance> rate, the time taken is (150 m)> (1.5 m> s) 5 100 s. 14. a. So we have a 5.5 m> s vector and a 4 m> s vector with a resultant vector that is directed 45 south of west. Letting u be the angle between the 4 km> h vector and the resultant, we can construct a parallelogram using these three vectors and a subsequent triangle with u opposite the 5.5 m> s vector and 45 opposite the 4 m> s vector. We now use the sine law to find u. sin u sin 45 5 5.5 4 sin 45 sin u 5 5.5 a b 4 sin 45 u 5 sin21 a 5.5 a bb 4 8 76.5 from the resultant. Since the resultant is 45 west of south, Daves direction is 76.5 1 45 5 121.5 west of south, which is equivalent to about 180 2 121.5 5 58.5 upstream. b. First, we find the magnitude, m, of Daves 4 m> s velocity in the direction perpendicular to the river. This is done using the definition of sine. m 5 4 sin 58.5 8 3.41 m> s perpendicular to the river. Since time is distance> rate, we have (200 m)> (3.41 m> s) 8 58.6 s. 15. Let b represent the speed of the steamboat and c represent the speed of the current. On the way downstream, the effective speed is b 1 c, and upstream is b 2 c. The distance upstream and downstream is the same, so 5( b 1 c ) 5 7( b 2 c ). So, b 5 6c. This means that the speed of the boat is 6 times the speed of the current. So, (6c 1 c ) ? 5

Any vector in the yz>-plane is of the form > e 5 (0, e2, e3 ). Let f 5 (1, 0, 0). > > e ? f 5 (1)(0) 1 (0)( e2 ) 1 (0)( e3 ) 50 Therefore (1, 0, 0) is perpendicular to every vector in the yz-plane. 4. a. (1, 2, 2 1) ?

Comparing the signs of the individual components of each vector eliminates (1, 2, 2 1) and ( 5, 2 3, 2 5 6 ) . All of the components of ( 2 4, 2 5, 2 6) have the same sign and the same is true for (4, 3, 10), but (4, 3, 10) is not a scalar multiple of ( 2 4, 2 5, 2 6). Therefore none of the vectors are collinear. 5. a. Using the strategy of Example 5 yields ( x, y ) ? (1, 2 2) 5 0 and ( x, y ) ? (1, 1) 5 0 x 2 2y 5 0 and x 1 y 5 0 3y 5 0 Therefore the only result is x 5 y 5 0, or (0, 0). This is because (1, 2 2) and (1, 1) both lie on the xy-plane and are not collinear, so any vector that is perpendicular to both vectors must be in R 3 which does not exist in R 2. b. If we select any two vectors that are not collinear in R 2, then any vector that is perpendicular to both cannot be in R 2 and must be in R 3. This is not possible since R 3 does not exist in R 2. > > a?b 6. a. cos u 5 > > 0 a 0 @b@ (5)( 2 1) 1 (3)( 2 2) 5 "25 1 9"1 1 4 2 11 5 " (34)(5) 2 11 5 "170 u 8 148 > > a?b b. cos u 5 > > 0 a 0 @b@ ( 2 1)(6) 1 (4)( 2 2) 5 "1 1 16"36 1 4 2 14 5 "680 u 8 123

Since the airplanes velocity is perpendicular to the wind, the resultants magnitude is given by the Pythagorean theorem: > @ R @ 5 "10002 1 1002 > @ R @ 8 1004.99 The angle is determined using the tangent ratio: 100 tan /EDF 5 1000 /EDF 8 5.7 Thus, the resultant velocity is 1004.99 km> h, N 5.7 W (or W 84.3 N). 5. a. The canoeist will travel 200 m across the stream, so the total time he will paddle is: d t5 rcanoeist 200 m t5 2.5 m> s t 5 80 s The current is flowing 1.2 m> s downstream, so the distance that the canoeist travels downstream is: d 5 rcurrent 3 t d 5 (1.2 m> s)(80 s) d 5 96 m So, the canoeist will drift 96 m south. b. In order to arrive directly across stream, the canoeist must take into account the change in his velocity caused by the current. That is, he must initially paddle upstream in a direction such that the resultant velocity is directed straight across the stream. The resultant velocity:
E 2.5 m/s D R 1.2 m/s F

Since the resultant velocity is perpendicular to the current, the direction in which the canoeist should head is determined by the sine ratio. 1.2 sin /EDF 5 2.5 /EDF 8 28.7 The canoeist should head 28.7 upstream. 6.
