Task # 1 (I) Finding Magnitude of A Column Vector : Practice

The document discusses vectors and their properties. It covers (i) finding the magnitude of a column vector, (ii) finding the value of a vector given its rectangular components, and (iii) finding the direction of a vector. It also discusses equal vectors, vector addition and subtraction, and using scale factors to determine unknown vectors. Practice problems are included for each concept to demonstrate how to apply the vector rules and properties.

Day # 4

Task # 1
(i) Finding Magnitude of a column vector
AB
⃗
= ( xy )
AB|
|⃗ = √x +y 2 2

Practice
AB
⃗
= (35 )

(ii) Finding value of a vector for which the components are given in
rectangular components
F = Fx + Fy
|F| = √ Fx + Fy2 2

Practice
p = -4i + 3j
| p| = √(−4) +(3)
2 2

(iii) Finding direction


If it is asked to find direction, draw horizontal component and measure
anticlockwise angle. OR
Use the formula
y
Direction of a vector = tan-1( x )

Task # 2
Equal vector
The vectors which have same corresponding components are equal
vectors. Equal vectors also have same direction.

Practice
Find unknown a and b if p = q , it is given that p=¿ (a3 ), and q = (a+−22b)

Task # 3
Since
