CHAPTER 1

P. E. 1.1
(a) A + B = (1,0,3) + (5,2,−6 ) = (6,2,−3)

A + B = 36 + 4 + 9 = 7

(b) 5 A − B = (5,0,15) − (5,2,−6) = (0,−2,21)

(c) The component of A along ay is Ay = 0

(d) 3 A + B = (3,0,9 ) + (5,2,−6 ) = (8,2,3)

A unit vector parallel to this vector is
a11 =
(8,2,3)
64 + 4 + 9
= ±(0.9117a x + 0.2279a y + 0.3419a z )

P. E. 1.2 (a) rp = a x − 3a y + 5a z
rR = 3a y + 8a z

(b) The distance vector is

rQR = rR − rQ = (0,3,8) − (2, 4, 6) = −2a x − a y + 2a z

(c) The distance between Q and R is

| rQR |= 4 + 1 + 4 = 3

P. E. 1.3 Consider the figure shown on the next page:

40
uZ = uP + uW = −350a x +
2
( −a x + a y )
= −378.28a x + 28.28a y km/hr
or
uz = 379.3∠175.72 km/hr
Where up = velocity of the airplane in the absence of wind
uw = wind velocity
uz = observed velocity
