Vector Operations

Vectors are physical quantities that have both magnitude and direction. The vector operations include addition, subtraction, and scalar multiplication.

A vector multiplied by a scalar value is called scalar multiplication. The result obtained is a new vector with a different magnitude. If the scalar is positive, the direction of the vecto...

Consider two force vectors in a two-dimensional coordinate system.

These vectors can be added using the parallelogram law, where the tails of the concurrent vectors are joined together and lines parallel to each vector are drawn to form a parallelogram.

The resultant vector can be obtained by drawing a diagonal from the tails to th...
