Find the resultant for the following vectors. 6N south + 4N south +2N north?
all the vectors are all parallel, so just add them up.
North is +, South is -
graph paper may help.
40N
To find the resultant of multiple vectors, you need to add them together. In this case, you have three vectors: 6N south, 4N south, and 2N north.
To add vectors, you need to ensure they are in the same direction. Since the first two vectors are already in the same direction (south), you can add them directly by simply adding their magnitudes:
6N south + 4N south = 10N south
Now, to add the third vector, you need to convert it to the same direction as the first two vectors. To do this, you can reverse its direction by changing "2N north" to "-2N south".
So now you have:
10N south + (-2N south)
To add these vectors together, you simply combine their magnitudes:
10N south + (-2N south) = 8N south
Therefore, the resultant of the given vectors is 8N south.
