2.7 Position Vectors
x,y,z Coordinates
- Right-handed coordinate system
- Positive z axis points upwards, measuring
the height of an object or the altitude of a
point
- Points are measured relative to the
origin, O.
2.7 Position Vectors
x,y,z Coordinates
Eg: For Point A, xA = +4m along the x axis,
yA = -6m along the y axis and zA = -6m
along the z axis. Thus, A (4, 2, -6)
Similarly, B (0, 2, 0) and C (6, -1, 4)
2.7 Position Vectors
Position Vector
- Position vector r is defined as a fixed vector
which locates a point in space relative to another
point.
Eg: If r extends from the
origin, O to point P (x, y, z)
then, in Cartesian vector
form
          r = xi + yj + zk
2.7 Position Vectors
  Position Vector
Note the head to tail vector addition of the
three components




Start at origin O, one travels x in the +i direction,
y in the +j direction and z in the +k direction,
arriving at point P (x, y, z)
2.7 Position Vectors
  Position Vector
  - Position vector maybe directed from point A to
  point B
  - Designated by r or rAB

Vector addition gives
             rA + r = rB
Solving
   r = rB – rA = (xB – xA)i + (yB – yA)j + (zB –zA)k
or    r = (xB – xA)i + (yB – yA)j + (zB –zA)k
2.7 Position Vectors
  Position Vector
  - The i, j, k components of the positive vector r
  may be formed by taking the coordinates of the
  tail, A (xA, yA, zA) and subtract them from the
  head B (xB, yB, zB)




Note the head to tail vector addition of the
three components
2.7 Position Vectors

Length and direction of
cable AB can be found by
measuring A and B using
the x, y, z axes
Position vector r can be
established
Magnitude r represent
the length of cable
2.7 Position Vectors


Angles, α, β and γ
represent the direction
of the cable
Unit vector, u = r/r
2.7 Position Vectors

Example 2.12
An elastic rubber band is
attached to points A and B.
Determine its length and
  its
direction measured from A
towards B.
2.7 Position Vectors
Solution
Position vector
  r = [-2m – 1m]i + [2m – 0]j + [3m – (-3m)]k
    = {-3i + 2j + 6k}m
Magnitude = length of the rubber band
        r=   (− 3)2 + (2)2 + (6)2   = 7m
Unit vector in the director of r
  u = r /r
    = -3/7i + 2/7j + 6/7k
2.7 Position Vectors
Solution
      α = cos-1(-3/7) = 115°
      β = cos-1(2/7) = 73.4°
      γ = cos-1(6/7) = 31.0°

6161103 2.7 position vectors

  • 1. 2.7 Position Vectors x,y,z Coordinates - Right-handed coordinate system - Positive z axis points upwards, measuring the height of an object or the altitude of a point - Points are measured relative to the origin, O.
  • 2. 2.7 Position Vectors x,y,z Coordinates Eg: For Point A, xA = +4m along the x axis, yA = -6m along the y axis and zA = -6m along the z axis. Thus, A (4, 2, -6) Similarly, B (0, 2, 0) and C (6, -1, 4)
  • 3. 2.7 Position Vectors Position Vector - Position vector r is defined as a fixed vector which locates a point in space relative to another point. Eg: If r extends from the origin, O to point P (x, y, z) then, in Cartesian vector form r = xi + yj + zk
  • 4. 2.7 Position Vectors Position Vector Note the head to tail vector addition of the three components Start at origin O, one travels x in the +i direction, y in the +j direction and z in the +k direction, arriving at point P (x, y, z)
  • 5. 2.7 Position Vectors Position Vector - Position vector maybe directed from point A to point B - Designated by r or rAB Vector addition gives rA + r = rB Solving r = rB – rA = (xB – xA)i + (yB – yA)j + (zB –zA)k or r = (xB – xA)i + (yB – yA)j + (zB –zA)k
  • 6. 2.7 Position Vectors Position Vector - The i, j, k components of the positive vector r may be formed by taking the coordinates of the tail, A (xA, yA, zA) and subtract them from the head B (xB, yB, zB) Note the head to tail vector addition of the three components
  • 7. 2.7 Position Vectors Length and direction of cable AB can be found by measuring A and B using the x, y, z axes Position vector r can be established Magnitude r represent the length of cable
  • 8. 2.7 Position Vectors Angles, α, β and γ represent the direction of the cable Unit vector, u = r/r
  • 9. 2.7 Position Vectors Example 2.12 An elastic rubber band is attached to points A and B. Determine its length and its direction measured from A towards B.
  • 10. 2.7 Position Vectors Solution Position vector r = [-2m – 1m]i + [2m – 0]j + [3m – (-3m)]k = {-3i + 2j + 6k}m Magnitude = length of the rubber band r= (− 3)2 + (2)2 + (6)2 = 7m Unit vector in the director of r u = r /r = -3/7i + 2/7j + 6/7k
  • 11. 2.7 Position Vectors Solution α = cos-1(-3/7) = 115° β = cos-1(2/7) = 73.4° γ = cos-1(6/7) = 31.0°
