two ropes are tied to a large boulder. one rope is pulled with a force of 400N due east. The other rope is pulled with a force of 300N due south. draw a vector diagram showing the forces

To draw a vector diagram for the forces, we can start by drawing a straight line to represent the boulder. From the boulder, draw an arrow pointing due east to represent the 400N force. Then, draw another arrow pointing due south, starting from the boulder, to represent the 300N force.

Make sure the lengths of the arrows represent the magnitudes of the forces. You can use a scale to determine the appropriate lengths. For example, if you choose 1 cm to represent 100N, the 400N force arrow would be 4 cm long, and the 300N force arrow would be 3 cm long.

Label the arrows with their corresponding magnitudes, in this case, 400N and 300N, respectively. You can also label the directions, "East" and "South," to indicate the directions in which the forces are applied.

The resulting vector diagram will show the two ropes attached to the boulder, one being pulled to the east with a force of 400N and the other being pulled to the south with a force of 300N.

1. From the origin, draw a vector at 0 degrees and label it 400 N.

2. From the origin, draw a vector at 270 degrees(-90) and label it 300 N.
