उत्तर
Given: \[\vec{a}\] is a vector of magnitude 4.5 units due north.
Case (a):
\[3\left| \vec{a} \right| = 3 \times 4 . 5 = 13.5\]
∴ \[3 \vec{a}\] is a vector of magnitude 13.5 units due north.
Case (b):
\[\left| - 4 \vec{a} \right| = - 4 \times 4.5 = - 18 \text{ units }\]
∴ \[- 4 \vec{a}\] is a vector of magnitude 18 units due south.
