Ch-04 Vectors: Lect-02

This document discusses different methods for graphically adding vectors, including the triangle law, parallelogram law, and polygon law. The triangle law states that the resultant vector is given by the third side of a triangle formed by the two vectors. The parallelogram law indicates the resultant is the diagonal of a parallelogram formed by the vectors. The polygon law, or head-tail method, can be used to add more than two vectors by placing their heads and tails in sequence.

Triangle Law of Vector Addition

“ If two vectors are represented by two sides of a triangle in


magnitude and direction taken in same order, then the resultant is
given by the third side of the triangle in magnitude and direction
taken in opposite order”

“If two vectors are represented by two adjacent sides of a
parallelogram in magnitude and direction (Joined tail to tail)
then the Resultant is given by the diagonal of parallelogram
in magnitude and direction starting from common
intersection of two vectors”
