The $$x$$ and $$y$$ components of $$\vec A$$ are $$4\,m$$ and $$6\,m,$$ respectively. The $$x$$ and $$y$$ components of $$\left( {\vec A + \vec B} \right)$$ are $$10\,m$$ and $$9\,m$$ respectively. The magnitude of vector $${\vec B}$$ is:
A.
$$19\,m$$
B.
$$\sqrt {27} m$$
C.
$$\sqrt {45} m$$
D.
$$\sqrt {50} m$$
Answer :
$$\sqrt {45} m$$
Solution :
$$\overrightarrow A = 4\hat i + 6\hat j.$$ If $${B_x}$$ and $${B_y}$$ are the components of vector along $$x$$ and $$y$$ axes, then
$$\eqalign{
& 4 + {B_x} = 10, \cr
& \therefore {B_x} = 6. \cr
& {\text{Also}}\,6 + {B_y} = 9, \cr
& \therefore {B_y} = 3. \cr
& {\text{Thus,}}\,\,B = \sqrt {B_x^2 + B_y^2} = \sqrt {{6^2} + {3^2}} = \sqrt {45} \cr} $$
