Answer

(a) $-6.5m$ (b) $6.5m$

Work Step by Step

(a) Since the given vector has magnitude 34m: $\implies -5.2\vec A=(34)\hat x$ We divide both sides by -5.2 to obtain: $\vec A=(-6.5)\hat x$ Thus, the magnitude of the x-component is: $A_x=-6.5m$ (b) As the given vector has only one component, the vector $\vec A$ is $6.5m$.
