Exercise 4.2
Exercise 4.3
a) Find the magnitude of the force 6 \displaystyle \mathbf{i}\displaystyle + 8 \displaystyle \mathbf{j} N, where \displaystyle \mathbf{i} and \displaystyle \mathbf{j} are perpendicular unit vectors.
b) Find the angle, to the nearest degree, between the force and the unit vector \displaystyle \mathbf{i}.
Exercise 4.4
A force is expressed as 9 \displaystyle \mathbf{i}\displaystyle + 10 \displaystyle \mathbf{j} N.
a) Calculate the magnitude of this force.
b) Find the angle between the force and the unit vector \displaystyle \mathbf{i}.
