Vector \(A\) has a magnitude of 10 units and makes an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with the positive \(X\)-axis. Vector \(B\) has a magnitude of 20 units and makes an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with the negative \(X\)-axis. What is the magnitude of the resultant between these two vectors?

  1. A \(20 \sqrt{3}\)
  2. B \(35\)
  3. C \(15 \sqrt{3}\)
  4. D \(10 \sqrt{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(10 \sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \[ \begin{gathered} A=10 \text { units } \\ B=20 \text { units } \\ \theta=30^{\circ} \end{gathered} \] The given situation is shown in the figure. The angle between \(\mathbf{A}\) and \(\mathbf{B}\), \[ \theta=180^{\circ}-30^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=120^{\circ} \]…
