The discussion revolves around the graphical representation of vectors measured in pounds, specifically focusing on how to depict vectors A and B with their respective magnitudes and angles.
There is an ongoing exploration of how to graphically represent the vectors, with some participants suggesting that the unit of measurement does not affect the graphical representation. However, confusion remains regarding the application of this concept to weight.
Participants are considering the implications of using pounds as a unit of measurement for vectors, and whether this affects their ability to scale and represent the vectors accurately on a graph.
Provided that all the vectors are in the same unit, it doesn't matter what that unit is. Simply draw a vector with units of pounds as you would if it has units of meters.2slowtogofast said:what my question is if it were 2m at 30 degrees i would have no problem. Just scale it down and go from their. what is screwing me up is it is in pounds. how do i draw a line with the magnitude of 80 lbs
