Question:

Give the steps to drawing a vector diagram when once force has a magnitude of 10N, the other force has a magnitude of 8N and the angle between the forces is 30 degrees

Author: Alana Ray



Answer:

First draw the object as a dot, and draw a 10cm long arrow to represent the 10N force. Using a protractor measure an angle of 30 degrees. Now draw an 8cm arrow to represent the 8N force. Now to create a parallelogram copy the 8cm line and position it at the head of the 10cm force vector. Use a protractor to double-check the angle is still 30 degrees. Then copy the 10cm line and position it at the head of the 8cm force vector. Now draw a straight line from the tails of the force vectors to the other side of the parallelogram. Finally measure the length of the vector (straight line) and this is the resultant force.
