Answer:
A = (27.95 N, 21 N)
Explanation:
The polar co-ordinates are given as:
(r,θ) = (35 N, 37°)
Now, to convert this into polar co-ordinates (x, y), we will use following relations:
r² = x² + y²
(35)² = x² + y²
1225 = x² + y² ----------- equation (1)
and
tan θ = y/x
tan 37° = y/x
y = 0.753 x ------------------- equation (2)
Substituting this value in equation (1):
1225 = x² + (0.753 x)²
1225 = 1.567 x²
x² = 1225/1.567
x = √781.32
x = 27.95 N
using this value in equation (2)
y = (0.753)(27.95 N)
y = 21 N
Therefore, the vector can be represented in polar co-ordinates as:
A = (27.95 N, 21 N)
