A displacement of 2.5 m towards 30° west of north on a scale, 1 cm = 1 m

Question

Show the following vectors graphically :

a. A displacement of 2.5 m towards 30° west of north on a scale, 1 cm = 1 m

Answer 1

We have, 1 m = 1 cm

So, 2.5 m = 2.5 × 1 cm = 2.5 cm

This means the vector can be show graphically by a line of 2.5 cm in the direction 30° west of north. Thus, the displacement vector is represented by the arrow OA.
