Question
Find the components along the coordinate axes of the position vector of the following point :
R(–11, –9)
Solution
The position vector of point R(-11,-9), \[\overrightarrow{OR} = - 11\hat{ i} - 9 \hat{j}\]
Component of \[\overrightarrow{OR}\] along x-axis = a vector of magnitude 11 having its direction along the negative direction of x-axis.
Component of \[\overrightarrow{OR}\] along y-axis = a vector of magnitude 9 having its direction along the negative direction of y-axis.
