Step 1
Graphical Method: - Parallelogram Method: Draw the vectors on a graph, making sure to keep the direction and magnitude accurate. The resultant vector is the diagonal of the parallelogram formed by the vectors. - Polygon Method: Draw the vectors head-to-tail Show more…

Using parallelogram and polygon method, find the resultant vector of the following: Given: Vector A=50 Newtons, 25 degrees north of east Vector B= 25 Newtons, East?
Adi S.
Use the parallelogram method to determine the resultant of two vectors (magnitude and direction). Here are the vectors in question: Vector A (magnitude 10 cm direction, 0°), Vector B (magnitude, 5 cm, direction 50°). The angles are measured with respect to the x axis counterclockwise.
Ivan K.
Draw the given vectors and find their sum graphically. The magnitude is shown first, followed by the direction as an angle in standard position. $$2.3 \mathrm{cm}, 45^{\circ} ; 5.2 \mathrm{cm}, 120^{\circ}$$
