Problem Overview:
The task involves solving vector addition problems in two sections:
1. Section A: Given diagrams of vectors, write the resultant column vector.
2. Section B: Given column vectors, draw the resultant vector.
Solution Approach:
#### Section A: Diagrams to Resultant Column Vectors
To solve this section, we need to analyze each diagram and determine the horizontal (x-component) and vertical (y-component) displacements of the resultant vector. The resultant column vector will be written as:
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
x \\
y
\end{pmatrix}
\]
where \( x \) is the total horizontal displacement and \( y \) is the total vertical displacement.
##### Step-by-Step Analysis for Each Diagram:
1. Diagram 1 (Example):
- Horizontal displacement: \( +3 \)
- Vertical displacement: \( +2 \)
- Resultant vector:
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
3 \\
2
\end{pmatrix}
\]
2. Diagram 2:
- Horizontal displacement: \( +1 \)
- Vertical displacement: \( +4 \)
- Resultant vector:
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
1 \\
4
\end{pmatrix}
\]
3. Diagram 3:
- Horizontal displacement: \( +2 \)
- Vertical displacement: \( +1 \)
- Resultant vector:
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
2 \\
1
\end{pmatrix}
\]
4. Diagram 4:
- Horizontal displacement: \( +3 \)
- Vertical displacement: \( +1 \)
- Resultant vector:
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
3 \\
1
\end{pmatrix}
\]
5. Diagram 5:
- Horizontal displacement: \( +2 \)
- Vertical displacement: \( -1 \)
- Resultant vector:
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
2 \\
-1
\end{pmatrix}
\]
6. Diagram 6:
- Horizontal displacement: \( +2 \)
- Vertical displacement: \( +3 \)
- Resultant vector:
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
2 \\
3
\end{pmatrix}
\]
7. Diagram 7:
- Horizontal displacement: \( +2 \)
- Vertical displacement: \( -2 \)
- Resultant vector:
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
2 \\
-2
\end{pmatrix}
\]
8. Diagram 8:
- Horizontal displacement: \( -4 \)
- Vertical displacement: \( -1 \)
- Resultant vector:
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
-4 \\
-1
\end{pmatrix}
\]
9. Diagram 9:
- Horizontal displacement: \( +3 \)
- Vertical displacement: \( -2 \)
- Resultant vector:
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
3 \\
-2
\end{pmatrix}
\]
#### Section B: Column Vectors to Resultant Diagrams
To solve this section, we need to add the given column vectors component-wise:
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
a_1 \\
b_1
\end{pmatrix}
+
\begin{pmatrix}
a_2 \\
b_2
\end{pmatrix}
=
\begin{pmatrix}
a_1 + a_2 \\
b_1 + b_2
\end{pmatrix}
\]
Then, we draw the resultant vector based on the calculated components.
##### Step-by-Step Calculation for Each Pair:
1. Pair 1 (Example):
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
3 \\
1
\end{pmatrix}
+
\begin{pmatrix}
0 \\
2
\end{pmatrix}
=
\begin{pmatrix}
3 + 0 \\
1 + 2
\end{pmatrix}
=
\begin{pmatrix}
3 \\
3
\end{pmatrix}
\]
- Draw a vector with horizontal displacement \( +3 \) and vertical displacement \( +3 \).
2. Pair 2:
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
1 \\
3
\end{pmatrix}
+
