how to find resultant force of this question.

(1/3) > >>

aiyla:
Q) A ship is traveling st 5ms-1 with a bearing of 20 degree east of north. There is a current of 1ms-1 flowing from the west. What is the resultant velocity of the ship?


thanks

SGVaibhav:
i was not sure about the answer so i just made a drawing :D

@d!_†oX!©:
just make the 2 vectors using a scale on a graph paper or a plain paper....and the complete the parallelogram....the resultant  force will be the diagonal as in the diagram...the magnitude is the length of the diagonal and the direction is the angle between the 6ms-1 vector and diagonal....

About the picture, the question says that the current is coming from the west. Your picture shows it coming from the east... :)

SGVaibhav:
from  :D to  :(
