2.3 Exercise 10

Avg difficulty 2.5

Given the vectors in the preceding figure, find vector R→\overset{\rightarrow}{R} that solves equations (a) D→+R→=F→\overset{\rightarrow}{D} + \overset{\rightarrow}{R} = \overset{\rightarrow}{F} and (b) C→−2D→+5R→=3F→\overset{\rightarrow}{C} - 2 \overset{\rightarrow}{D} + 5 \overset{\rightarrow}{R} = 3 \overset{\rightarrow}{F}. Assume the +x-axis is horizontal to the right.
