Law of Parallelogram of Vectors
The above example can be stated in the following way as the law of parallelogram
of vectors - If two vectors, acting simultaneously at a point, can be represented both
in magnitude and direction by the two adjacent sides of a parallelogram drawn from
a point, then the resultant is represented completely, both in magnitude and
direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram passing through the point.
In the figure, two vectors are completely represented by the two sides
OA and OB respectively of a parallelogram. Then, according to the, the diagonal OC
In this case, q = 00
b = 00 i.e., the resultant vector also points in the direction of the given vector.
In this case,
The resultant acts in the direction of the larger vector
