Maths · Vectors and scalars, the addition of vectors
Six vectors, a through f have the magnitudes and directions indicated in the fig
Six vectors, a through f have the magnitudes and directions indicated in the figure. Which of the following statements is true?
- A. \( b+e=f \)
- B. \( b+c=f \)
- C. \( d+c=f \)
- D. \( d+e=f \)
Step-by-step solution
Vector addition follows the triangle law. In the given figure, arranging vectors b and c head-to-tail results in a vector that matches the direction and magnitude of f. Thus, b + c = f.
