2.1 Exercise 3

Avg difficulty 2.5

Using the three displacement vectors A→\overset{\rightarrow}{A}, B→\overset{\rightarrow}{B}, and F→\overset{\rightarrow}{F} in the figure, choose a convenient scale, and use a ruler and a protractor to find vector G→\overset{\rightarrow}{G} given by the vector equation G→=A→+2B→−F→\overset{\rightarrow}{G} = \overset{\rightarrow}{A} + 2 \overset{\rightarrow}{B} - \overset{\rightarrow}{F}.
