F 1 + F 2 F 2 F N 3.13 (a) d = 10.0i = 10.0 m since the displacement is a straight line from point to point B. C (b) The actual distance walked is not equal to the straight-line displacement. The distance follows the curved path of the semi-circle (CB). s = 1 (2π r) = 5π = 15.7 m 2 (c) If the circle is complete, d begins and ends at point. Hence, d = Your sketch should be drawn to scale, and should look somewhat like that pictured below.

Then the horizontal component of their total vector height is ver nearl zero. If their compressed pillows give their height vectors vertical components averaging 3 cm, and if one-tenth of one percent of the population are on-dut nurses or police officers, we estimate the total vector height as ~ 10 5 (0.03 m) (1 m) ~10 3 m upward.

The total displacement is then d = (4.80 cm i cm j) + (3.70 cm j 3.70 cm k) or d = 4.80 cm i cm j 3.70 cm k (a) The magnitude is d = (4.80) 2 + (8.50) 2 + ( 3.70) 2 cm = 10.4 cm (b) Its angle with the -ais follows from cos θ = B = B i + B j + B 2 k B = 4.00i j k, giving θ = B = (4.00) 2 + (6.00) 2 + (3.00) 2 = 7.81 α = cos β = cos = 59.2 = 39.8 γ = cos = 67.4

Find the magnitude and direction of this vector. 40 r G: First we should visualize the vector either in our mind or with a sketch. Since the hpotenuse of the right triangle must be greater than either the or components that form the legs, we can estimate the magnitude of the vector to be about 50 units. The direction of the vector appears to be about 120 from the + ais. O: The graphical analsis and visual estimates above ma be sufficient for some situations, but we can use trigonometr to obtain a more precise result. : The magnitude can be found b the Pthagorean theorem: r = r = ( 25.0 units) 2 + (40 units) 2 = 47.2 units We observe that tan φ = (if we consider and to both be positive). φ = tan = tan = tan 1 (1.60) = 58.0 The angle from the + ais can be found b subtracting from 180. = = 122 L: Our calculated results agree with our graphical estimates. We should alwas remember to check that our answers are reasonable and make sense, especiall for problems like this where it is eas to mistakenl calculate the wrong angle b confusing coordinates or overlooking a minus sign. Quite often the direction angle of a vector can be specified in more than one wa, and we must choose a notation that makes the most sense for the given problem. If compass directions were stated in this question, we could have reported the vector angle to be 32.0 west of north or a compass heading of 328.

10 10 Chapter 3 Solutions *3.26 The east and north components of the displacement from Dallas (D) to Chicago (C) are the sums of the east and north components of the displacements from Dallas to tlanta () and from tlanta to Chicago. In equation form: d DCeast = d Deast + d Ceast = 730 cos sin 21.0 = 527 miles. d DCnorth = d Dnorth + d Cnorth = 730 sin cos 21.0 = 586 miles. B the Pthagorean theorem, d = (d DCeast ) 2 + (d DCnorth ) 2 = 788 mi Then tan θ = d DCnorth d DCeast = 1.11 and θ = Thus, Chicago is 788 miles at 48.0 north east of Dallas = d cos θ = (50.0 m)cos(120) = 25.0 m = d sin θ = (50.0 m)sin(120) = 43.3 m d = ( 25.0 m)i + (43.3 m)j 3.28 (a) B B B + B B (b) C = + B = 2.00i j i 2.00j = 5.00i j C = at rctan 4 5 C = 6.40 at 38.7 D = B = 2.00i j 3.00i j = 1.00i j D = ( 1.00) 2 + (8.00) 2 at rctan 8.00 ( 1.00)

Find (a) the single force that is equivalent to the two forces shown and (b) the force that a third person would have to eert on the mule to make the resultant force equal to zero. The forces are measured in units of newtons. G: The resultant force will be larger than either of the two individual forces, and since the two people are not pulling in eactl the same direction, the magnitude of the resultant should be less than the sum of the magnitudes of the two forces. Therefore, we should epect 120 N < R < 200 N. The angle of the resultant force appears to be straight ahead and perhaps slightl to the right. If the stubborn mule remains at rest, the ground must be eerting on the animal a force equal to the resultant R but in the opposite direction. 120 N 80 N O: We can find R b adding the components of the two force vectors. : F 1 = (120 cos 60)i N + (120 sin 60)j N = 60.0i N j N F 2 = (80 cos 75)i N + (80 sin 75)j N = 20.7i N j N R = F 1 + F 2 = 39.3i N j N R = R = (39.3) 2 + (181.2) 2 = 185 N The angle can be found from the arctan of the resultant components. θ = tan = tan = tan 1 (4.61) = 77.8 counterclockwise from the + ais The opposing force that the either the ground or a third person must eert on the mule, in order for the overall resultant to be zero, is 185 N at 258 counterclockwise from +. L: The resulting force is indeed between 120 N and 200 N as we epected, and the angle seems reasonable as well. The process applied to solve this problem can be used for other statics problems encountered in phsics and engineering. If another force is added to act on a sstem that is alread in equilibrium (sum of the forces is equal to zero), then the sstem ma accelerate. Such a sstem is now a dnamic one and will be the topic of Chapter 5.

The object is moving straight downward at 2 m/s, so dp/dt represents its velocit vector v = v i + v j = ( cos 30.0 )i + (100 sin 30.0 )j v = (387i j) mi/h v = 390 mi/h at 7.37 N of E 3.60 (a) You start at r 1 = r = 30.0 m i 20.0 m j. The displacement to B is r B r = 60.0i j 30.0i j = 30.0i + 100j You cover one half of this, 15.0i j, to move to r 2 = 30.0i 20.0j i j = 45.0i j Now the displacement from our current position to C is r C r 2 = 10.0i 10.0j 45.0i 30.0j = 55.0i 40.0j You cover one third, moving to r 3 = r 2 + r 23 = 45.0i j + 1 ( 55.0i 40.0j) = 26.7i j 3

24 24 Chapter 3 Solutions The displacement from where ou are to D is r D r 3 = 40.0i 30.0j 26.7i 16.7j = 13.3i 46.7j You traverse one quarter of it, moving to r 4 = r (r D r 3 ) = 26.7i j + 1 (13.3i 46.7j) = 30.0i j 4 The displacement from our new location to E is r E r 4 = 70.0i j 30.0i 5.00j = 100i j of which ou cover one fifth, 20.0i j, moving to r 4 + r 45 = 30.0i j 20.0i j = 10.0i j. The treasure is at (10.0 m, 16.0 m) (b) Following the directions brings ou to the average position of the trees. The steps we took numericall in part (a) bring ou to r (r B r ) = r + r B 2 then to then to (r + r B ) 2 + r C (r + r B )/2 3 = (r + r B + r C ) 3 r + r B + r C 3 and at last to + r D (r + r B + r C ) /3 4 = (r + r B + r C + r D ) 4 r + r B + r C + r D 4 + r E (r + r B + r C + r D )/4 5 = r + r B + r C + r D + r E 5 This center of mass of the tree distribution is in the same location whatever order we take the trees in.

25 Chapter 3 Solutions (a) From the picture R 1 = ai + bj and R 1 = a 2 + b 2 (b) R 2 = ai + bj + ck. Its magnitude is R c 2 = a 2 + b 2 + c 2 z a b O R 1 R 2 c 3.62 (a) r 1 + d = r 2 defines the displacement d, so d = r 2 r 1. (b) r 2 d r The displacement of point P is invariant under rotation of the coordinates. Therefore, r = r' and r 2 = (r') 2 or, = (') 2 + (') 2 lso, from the figure, β = θ α P tan 1 ' ' = tan 1 α r αβ ' ' = tanα 1 + tanα O β θ αt Which we simplif b multipling top and bottom b cos α. Then, ' = cosα + sin α, ' = sin α + cosα
