I think I understand but am a little confused at the same time. It did help me in understanding why By = 0 though! And by A+B=(rcosθ,rsinθ)+(0,By), you do mean that I add the x components and y components separately, am I correct?
I'm not so sure about how to calculate the components. As in isn't there not enough information?
I don't know if i can just assume Bx = 0 and By = 3.25m, but if i can, will it be Ax + Bx = 2.64 + 0 = 2.64i and Ay + By = 1.43 + 3.25 = 4.68j?
Homework Statement
Use the component method to add the vectors vector A and vector B shown in the figure. The length of vector B is 3.25 m and the angle θ = 28.5°. Express the resultant vector A + vector B in unit-vector notation.
