Question

Represent graphically a displacement of 40 km, 30° east of north.

Answer 1

1.Take a graph paper
2.Draw co-ordinate system
3.Provide the axes with proper scaling values
(ex. 1 cm of x= 10 units and 1cm of y=10 units)

y-compoment of vector is 40*sin30°
x-component of vector is 40*cos 30°

4.draw these two components on the axes
5.draw perpendicular lines at the head of these 2 components
6.join origin to the point where these 2 perpendicular lines coincide.
Voila! you got your vector

Answer 2

Answer:

Here, vector OP represents the displacement of 40km, 30° east of North.
