Required key points

  • The object's total displacement is equal to the sum of its vectors. Adding the components is another approach to add vectors.
  • A resultant vector is obtained by adding or subtracting any number of vectors.
  • Arrange the two components so that component tail begins at the head of the previous vector component. 

Step 1: In a coordinate system, displaying the resultant vector and components.

Total displacement = 27 m

Angle between the horizontal and resultant \theta = 30 \degree

Step 2: Using the trigonometric ratios to find the magnitude of the vertical displacement.

\sin \theta = \frac{\text{ vertical component }}{27 m}

\text{ vertical component } = 27 * sin 30\degree = 27 * \frac{1}{2}

\text{ vertical component } = 13.5

The vertical component is directed downward and must have a negative value.

\text{ vertical component } = - 13.5
