2.3 Exercise 6

Avg difficulty 2.5

Given two displacement vectors A→=(3.00i^−4.00j^+4.00k^)m\overset{\rightarrow}{A} = \left(3.00 \hat{i} - 4.00 \hat{j} + 4.00 \hat{k}\right) \text{m} and B→=(2.00i^+3.00j^−7.00k^)m\overset{\rightarrow}{B} = \left(2.00 \hat{i} + 3.00 \hat{j} - 7.00 \hat{k}\right) \text{m}, find the displacements and their magnitudes for (a) C→=A→+B→\overset{\rightarrow}{C} = \overset{\rightarrow}{A} + \overset{\rightarrow}{B} and (b) D→=2A→−B→\overset{\rightarrow}{D} = 2 \overset{\rightarrow}{A} - \overset{\rightarrow}{B}.
