Question Number 9715 by tawakalitu last updated on 28/Dec/16

Vector A^→  of magnitude 20 unit, lies in the   direction 45°S of E while vector B^→  of magnitude  30 units in the direction 60°W of N.  calculate the scaler product  A^→ ∙B^→

$$\mathrm{Vector}\:\overset{\rightarrow} {\mathrm{A}}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{magnitude}\:\mathrm{20}\:\mathrm{unit},\:\mathrm{lies}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{the}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{direction}\:\mathrm{45}°\mathrm{S}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{E}\:\mathrm{while}\:\mathrm{vector}\:\overset{\rightarrow} {\mathrm{B}}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{magnitude} \\ $$$$\mathrm{30}\:\mathrm{units}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{direction}\:\mathrm{60}°\mathrm{W}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{N}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{calculate}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{scaler}\:\mathrm{product}\:\:\overset{\rightarrow} {\mathrm{A}}\centerdot\overset{\rightarrow} {\mathrm{B}} \\ $$

the angle between A^→  and B^→  = 165°  A^→ .B^→  = ∣A^→ ∣.∣B^→ ∣ cos 165°           = 20×30×(−0.966)           = −579.6 unit

$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{angle}\:\mathrm{between}\:\overset{\rightarrow} {\mathrm{A}}\:\mathrm{and}\:\overset{\rightarrow} {\mathrm{B}}\:=\:\mathrm{165}° \\ $$$$\overset{\rightarrow} {\mathrm{A}}.\overset{\rightarrow} {\mathrm{B}}\:=\:\mid\overset{\rightarrow} {\mathrm{A}}\mid.\mid\overset{\rightarrow} {\mathrm{B}}\mid\:\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{165}° \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\:\mathrm{20}×\mathrm{30}×\left(−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{966}\right) \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\:−\mathrm{579}.\mathrm{6}\:\mathrm{unit} \\ $$

Other way ...  60° + 45° + x = 270°  x = 270° − 105°  x = 165°

$${Other}\:{way}\:... \\ $$$$\mathrm{60}°\:+\:\mathrm{45}°\:+\:{x}\:=\:\mathrm{270}° \\ $$$${x}\:=\:\mathrm{270}°\:−\:\mathrm{105}° \\ $$$${x}\:=\:\mathrm{165}° \\ $$
