FS PROBLEM 4.2
Statement: A particle is traveling along an arc of 6.5 inch radius. The arc center is at the origin of a coordinate
system. When the particle is at position , its position vector makes a 45-deg angle with the X
axis. At postion B, its vector makes a 75-deg angle with the X axis, Draw this system to some
‘convenient scale and:
Write an expression for the particle's position vector in position 4 using complex number
notation, in both polar and Cartesian forms.
». Write an expression for the particle's position vector in position B using complex number
notation, in both polar and Cartesian forms.
. Write a vector equation forthe postion difference between points B and A. Substitute the
‘complex number notation for the vectors in this equation and solve for the position difference
numerically.

Given: Circle radius and vector magnitude, R:= 6.5:in, vector angles: 04
Solution: See Mathcad file P0402.
1. Establish an X-Y coordinate frame and draw a circle with center at the origin and radius R.
2. Draw lines from the origin that make angles of 45 and 75 deg with respect tothe X axis. Label the intersections
of the lines with the circles as 4 and B, respectively. Make the line segment OA a vector by putting an
arrowhead at 4, pointing away from the origin. Label the vector R,,. Repeat for the line segment OB, labeling it
Ry.
