To identify:The action that is permissible during graphical addition of vectors.
Answer to Problem 48A
Moving the vector
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A vector is a physical quantity which has both magnitude as well asdirection.
The length of vector indicates its magnitude.So, if the length of the vector is altered,the magnitude is changed. When the vector is rotated, its direction gets changed.In both the cases where the length of the vector is changed and the vector is rotated, the vector itself changes. But the vector can be moved easily while adding to another vector without changing its length and direction.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the permissible action is to move the vector without changing length and direction.
