Thank you so much, this really solved all uncertainty.

In Ontario, we use the convention [ W 30deg N]. It would be good if you described all three methods

Hi sir! I have a question, how to start at the north using my protractor when measuring the direction like the last examples? 30° N of W, I don't know how you got the answer😢 except for visualizing that that side has 90° and 3 portions of 30°?

Where would I find the playlist for physics mechanics ?

Sir, why the arrow or sine of vector always right direction not left uper lower or any other angle?
