1. This document contains a worksheet for an engineering mechanics class with 6 problems involving vector operations. The problems deal with adding and subtracting vectors, finding vector magnitudes and directions, and determining unknown vectors given information about vector combinations. 2. Problem 1 asks students to find the magnitude and direction of a vector given by the sum of 3 other vectors. Problem 2 involves vector addition and subtraction for coplanar vectors. 3. Problems 3 through 6 present additional vector calculation exercises, including finding an unknown value to make two vectors parallel, determining force magnitudes given information about vector combinations, and solving for an unknown vector quantity.
