CHAPTER 9 PRACTICE TEST

As a study aid, we have included complete solutions for each Practice Test problem at the end of this book.

In all triangle solutions, sides a, b, c, are opposite angles A, B, C, respectively.

  1. By use of a diagram, find the vector sum 2A + B for the given vectors.

    Vector Ay points up and right. Vector B points up and left.
  2. For the triangle in which a = 22.5 , B = 78.6 °  ,  and c = 30.9 ,  find b.

  3. A surveyor locates a tree 36.50 m to the northeast of a set position. The tree is 21.38 m north of a utility pole. What is the displacement of the utility pole from the set position?

  4. For the triangle in which A = 18.9 °  , B = 104.2 °  ,  and a = 426 ,  find c.

  5. Solve the triangle in which a = 9.84 , b = 3.29 ,  and c = 8.44.

  6. For vector R, find R and standard position θ if Rx =  − 235 and Ry = 152.

  7. Find the horizontal and vertical components of a force of 871 kN that is directed at a standard-position angle of 284.3 ° .

  8. A ship leaves a port and travels due west. At a certain point it turns 31.5 °  north of west and travels an additional 42.0 mi to a point 63.0 mi on a direct line from the port. How far from the port is the point where the ship turned?

  9. Find the sum of the vectors for which A = 449 , θA = 74.2 °  ,  B = 285 ,  and θB = 208.9 °  by using components.

  10. Solve the triangle for which a = 22.3 , b = 29.6 ,  and A = 36.5 °  . 

  11. Assuming the vectors in Fig. 9.93 are in equilibrium, find T1 and T2 . 

    A free body diagram. Vector T 2 goes along the positive vertical. Vector T sub 1 is 41.7 degrees to the negative horizontal in quadrant 3. Vector 185 Newtons is 35.6 degrees to the negative vertical in quadrant 4.
