You can tell because the line bends and the closer it is to horizontal or past horizontal it is more dense

Answer:
- R = ( 4.831 m , 1.469 m )
- Direction of R relative to the x axis= 16°54'33'
Explanation:
Knowing the magnitude and directions relative to the x axis, we can find the Cartesian representation of the vectors using the formula

where
its the magnitude and θ.
So, for our vectors, we will have:


and


Now, we can take the sum of the vectors




This is R in Cartesian representation, now, to find the magnitude we can use the Pythagorean theorem





To find the direction, we can use




As we are in the first quadrant, this is relative to the x axis.
A mechanical wave always consists of wiggles in some kind of material stuff. The material stuff may be air, water, rock, wood, steel ... almost anything, as long as it's some material. In general, whatever the waves are moving through is called the "medium". If there isn't any, like the vacuum in space, then mechanical waves can't travel there. For example, sound can't travel in space ... not even an inch.
