1 A particle, of mass 4 kg , moves in a horizontal plane under the action of a single force, \(\mathbf { F }\) newtons. The unit vectors \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\) are in the horizontal plane, perpendicular to each other.
At time \(t\) seconds, the velocity of the particle, \(\mathbf { v } \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\), is given by
$$\mathbf { v } = 4 \cos 2 t \mathbf { i } + 3 \sin t \mathbf { j }$$
- Find an expression for the force, \(\mathbf { F }\), acting on the particle at time \(t\) seconds.
- Find the magnitude of \(\mathbf { F }\) when \(t = \pi\).
- When \(t = 0\), the particle is at the point with position vector \(( 2 \mathbf { i } - 14 \mathbf { j } )\) metres. Find the position vector, \(\mathbf { r }\) metres, of the particle at time \(t\) seconds.
