Describing Linear Vector

The document outlines general rules for finding the resultant of vectors. It explains how to add or subtract vectors in the same or opposite directions, and provides methods for calculating magnitudes and directions using the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometric laws. The rules apply to vectors acting at right angles and those not equal to 90 degrees.

Describing Diagonal Vector


General Rules in Finding
1. Vectors in the same direction are added and subtracted if in opposite direction.
2. Vectors acting at a right angle triangle with each other – use Pythagorean theorem
for the magnitude and SOH, CAH, TOA for the direction.
3. Vectors acting at an right angle not equal to 90 degrees use law of cosine for
magnitude and law of sine for direction.
