Answer
To find the resultant (R) using the components method, follow these steps:
1. Resolve the vectors to be added into their x- and y-components.
2. Add the x-components to get the x-component of the resultant (Rx). Add the y-components to get the y-component of the resultant (Ry).
3. Find the magnitude of the resultant by using the Pythagorean theorem. If Rx and Ry are the components of the resultant, then
4. Find the direction (θ) of the resultant by using the relationship
