Question

A body moves 6m North 8m east and 10m vertically upwards, what is it's resultant displacement from initial position.

Answer 1

hey
here's ur answer

Here's the diagram !!


|
|
|. (10 m vertically upwards)
____________|
|. (8m west)
|
|. (6m North)
|


so displacement is --

|
|
|. (10 m vertically upwards)
|
|.
|
|. (6m North)
|
____________
(8m west)

so total displacement upwards = 16 m
total displacement sideward = 8 m

so actual displacement = √(16²+8²)
= √320m = 8√5 m (ANSWER)

Answer 2

Resultant will be √320m because total distance upward is 16m and towards east is 8m so their resultant is √320m
