46: a)

A = ( 3.60 m ) cos 70.0 i + ( 3.60 m ) sin 70.0 j = (1.23 m ) i + ( 3.38 m ) j

B = ( 2.40 m ) cos 30.0 i ( 2.40 m ) sin 30.0

b)

j = ( 2.08 m )i + ( 1.20 m ) j

C = ( 3.00 ) A ( 4.00 ) B
=(3.00 )(1.23 m )i +(3.00 )(3.38 m ) j ( 4.00 )( 2.08 m )i ( 4.00 )( 1.20 m ) j
=(12 .01 m )i +(14 .94 ) j

c)

(Note that in adding components, the fourth figure becomes significant.)

From Equations (1.8) and (1.9),
C=

(12 .01 m ) 2 + (14 .94 m ) 2

14.94 m

= 19 .17 m, arctan
= 51 .2
12.01 m
