The magnitude of the vector product of two vectors | and may be

Magnitudes of the cross product of two vectors and is AB and the value of varies between 1 to -1, hence AB can also vary from AB to -AB that is it can either be equal to or less than AB or even equal to 0, but it can never be greater than AB.

Let the angle between two nonzero vectors and be 120o and its resultant be .

 4

The x-component of the resultant of several vectors

 1

A vector makes an angle of 20o and makes an angle of 110o with the X-axis. the magnitudes of these vectors are 3 m and 4 m respectively. Find the resultant.

 2

Let and be the two vectors of magnitude 10 unit each. If they are inclined to the X-axis at angles 30o and 60o respectively, find the resultant.
