Capitolo 10, Problema 5a

One force acting on a machine part is F = (-5.00 N)i + (4.00 N)j. The vector from the origin to the point where the force is applied is r = (-0.450 m)i +(0.150 m)j. In a sketch, show r, F, and the origin.

Understand the problem: We have a force vector \( \mathbf{F} = (-5.00 \text{ N})\mathbf{i} + (4.00 \text{ N})\mathbf{j} \) and a position vector \( \mathbf{r} = (-0.450 \text{ m})\mathbf{i} + (0.150 \text{ m})\mathbf{j} \). We need to sketch these vectors starting from the origin.
Draw the coordinate axes: Begin by drawing a standard Cartesian coordinate system with the x-axis and y-axis intersecting at the origin (0,0).
Plot the position vector \( \mathbf{r} \): From the origin, move 0.450 meters in the negative x-direction (left) and 0.150 meters in the positive y-direction (up). Mark this point and draw an arrow from the origin to this point to represent \( \mathbf{r} \).
Plot the force vector \( \mathbf{F} \): From the origin, move 5.00 N in the negative x-direction (left) and 4.00 N in the positive y-direction (up). Draw an arrow from the origin to this point to represent \( \mathbf{F} \).
Label the vectors: Clearly label the position vector as \( \mathbf{r} \) and the force vector as \( \mathbf{F} \) on your sketch. Ensure the origin is marked as well.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Vector Representation

Vectors are mathematical entities used to represent quantities that have both magnitude and direction, such as force and position. In this problem, the force vector F and position vector r are expressed in terms of their components along the i (x-axis) and j (y-axis) directions, which helps in visualizing and calculating their effects in a two-dimensional plane.

Coordinate System

A coordinate system is a framework used to define the position of points in space, typically using axes like the x-axis and y-axis. In this problem, the origin is the reference point from which the position vector r is measured, and it is essential to understand how vectors are positioned relative to this origin to accurately sketch the scenario.
