    A boat is moving at 6.5 m/s due west while the water is moving at 3.5 m/s due south. Using a scale diagram, the resultant velocity is 7.5 m/s at a direction northwest. A mass W is supported by two strings, each with a tension of 10 N. Using a scale of 1 cm to 2 N, the upward force needed to balance W is 20 N. Given each string supplies 10 N of force, W must be 20/10 = 2 kg.

    Vector Addition Qs

    (c) A boat is moving due west at a speed of 6.5 m / s. The water is moving due south at 3.5 m / s.
    In the space below, draw a scale diagram to determine the size and direction of the resultant
    of these two velocities. State the scale used.
    scale ...............................................................
    size of resultant velocity = ...............................................................
    direction of resultant ............................................................... [4]
    A mass of weight W is supported by two strings as shown. The tension in each string is 10 N.

    (i) Using a scale of 1 cm to 2 N, determine the upward force required to balance the weight W. [2]

    (ii) Hence, determine the mass of W. [2]
