Addition and Subtraction Of Vectors (Analytical Method)

Addition Of Vectors (Analytical Method)

Let we consider two vectors A and B inclined at an angle θ. Let they may be represented in magnitude and direction by two sides OP and PQ of ∆OPQ, taken in same order. Then, according to Triangle Law of vector addition, the resultant R is given by the closing side OQ, taken in opposite order.
