Homework Statement
Given two 2-dimensional vectors [itex]\overline{a}[/itex] and [itex]\overline{b}[/itex] of moduli l[itex]\overline{a}[/itex]l = 3u and l[itex]\overline{b}[/itex]l = 4u, and forming an
angle of 120 degrees between them, determine the modulus of the sum vector [itex]\overline{s}[/itex] = [itex]\overline{a}[/itex] + [itex]\overline{b}[/itex]
and the angle between [itex]\overline{s}[/itex] and [itex]\overline{a}[/itex].
Homework Equations
a.b = l[itex]\overline{a}[/itex]ll[itex]\overline{b}[/itex]lcosθ
The Attempt at a Solution
All if have calculated is the dot product of vectors a and b, coming to (6u2). I cannot seem to figure out what I can do to find the sum of these vectors only given the moduli and angle between them. Please Help :-)
