The original vector $\vec{F_1}$ points with a magnitude of 200N due east, the Resultant vector $\vec{R}$ points due west (that's how east/west direction can be interpreted, from east to west) with a magnitude of 400N. If we choose East as the positive direction and West as the negative one, we can write the following vectorial equation:

$\vec{F_1}+\vec{F_2}=\vec{R}\implies\vec{F_2}=\vec{R}-\vec{F_1}=-400N-200N=-600N$

With the negative sign signifying that the vector points west.

A truck contains both hydraulic brakes (reliability 0.96) and mechanical brakes (reliability 0.99). What is the probability of s

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

i) 0.9504

ii) 0.0452

Explanation:

Given data: reliability of hydraulic brakes= 0.96

reliability of mechanical brakes = 0.99

So the probability of stopping the truck = 0.96×0.99= 0.9504

At low speed

case: A works and B does not

= 0.96×(1-0.99) = 0.0096

case2 : B works and A does not

= 0.99×(1-0.96) = 0.0396

Therefore, probality of stopping = 0.0096+0.0396 = 0.0492
