APPLICATION OF VECTOR ADDITION
5
SCALARS AND VECTORS (Section 2.1)
Scalars Vectors
Examples: mass, volume force, velocity
Characteristics: It has a magnitude It has a magnitude
(positive or negative) and direction
6
VECTOR OPERATIONS (Section 2.2)
Scalar Multiplication
and Division
7
VECTOR ADDITION USING EITHER THE
PARALLELOGRAM LAW OR TRIANGLE
Parallelogram Law:
Triangle method
(always ‘tip to tail’):
9
CARTESIAN VECTOR NOTATION (Section 2.4)
10
For example,
F = Fx i + Fy j or F' = F'x i + F'y j
12
Example of this process,

You can also represent a 2-D vector with a magnitude and
angle.
14
EXAMPLE
Given: Three concurrent forces
acting on a bracket.
Find: The magnitude and
angle of the resultant
force.
Plan:
a) Resolve the forces in their x-y components.
b) Add the respective components to get the resultant vector.
c) Find magnitude and angle from the resultant components.
