One dyne = 10^-5 newtons, so yes.


Is it possible to combine two vectors of different magnitude to give a zero resultant. if not can three vectors be so combined?

You should try to visualize this yourself. Draw arrows, representing vectors, on paper; draw them head-to-tail. Try to make the head of the last arrow return to the tail of the first one. The answer is no, and yes.


Why is knowledge of vectors important to marine people?

Navigators need to be able to combine the marine vessel's velocity with that of the any currents to arrive at the resultant speed and direction. This requires addition of the vectors representing the velocities of the vessel and of the current. It may also be necessary to add the wind velocity.
