(R_x=0) and (R_y=12) N. Therefore the resultant is 12 N upward.

If both components of the resultant are zero then the resultant magnitude is zero.

The x-components cancel while the y-components add to 8 N upward.

(F_x=20cos120^circ=-10) N and (F_y=20sin120^circ=17.32) N.

(V=sqrt{18^2+24^2}=30) N.

For perpendicular vectors (R=sqrt{10^2+10^2}=10sqrt2) N.

The new components are 8 N and 3 N. Thus (R=sqrt{8^2+3^2}=sqrt{73}) N.

(V_x=Vcostheta). Cosine decreases from 1 to 0 over this range.

(V_y=Vsintheta). It increases from zero at 0° to V at 90°.

(V_y=Vsin30^circ=10(0.5)=5) N.

(V_x=40(0.6)=24) N and (V_y=40(0.8)=32) N.

Parallel vectors pointing in the same direction can be added directly.

The displacements are perpendicular. (R=sqrt{6^2+8^2}=10) m.

Negative x and positive y components place the vector in quadrant II.

The zero x-component makes the vector vertical. The negative y-component means downward.

(R=sqrt{9^2+12^2}=15) m.

(F_x=50cos37^circ=50(0.8)=40) N.

(V=sqrt{8^2+(-6)^2}=10) m.

(R_x=8-3+5=10) N.
