90cm
long and is 60 degree below the x-axis in the fourth quadrant. Use components to find the magnitude
and direction of (a) A + B, (b) A B, (c) B A. In each case, sketch the vector addition or subtraction
and show that your numeral answers are in qualitative agreement with your sketch.
5. A uniform rod 150 cm long and weighing 55N is supported in a horizontal position on a fulcrum with
weighs of 75N and 105N suspended from its ends. Compute the position of the fulcrum.
6. The ff objects act on an object: A has a magnitude of 6N and is in the +y direction; B has a
magnitude of 10N and is in the -x direction; C has a magnitude of 8N and is an angle of 45 degrees
clockwise from the +x direction. Find the direction of and magnitude of the resultant force acting on
the object.
7. A 60lb girl and a 50lb boy face each other on frictionless roller skates. The girl pushes the boy, who
moves away at a speed of 4.0ft/s. Calculate the girls speed.
8. The tires of a certain car begin to lose their grip on the pavement at an accelaration of 5m/s. If the car

9. Two billiards balls are rolling on a flat table, one has the velocity components Vx= 1.0m/s,
Vy=2.0m/s. The other has the velocity components Vx=2.0m/s, Vy=3.0m/s. If both balls started from
the same point, what is the angle between their paths?
