Vector addition: R = A + B = B + A
Resolution of a vector
• A vector may be resolved into two
components by drawing a //gram.
• For a given vector, there exist an infinite
number of possible sets of components.
Magnitude of A:
= 1
where
A = Ax i + Ay j + Az k
= Acosα i + Acosβ j + Acosγ k
Solution:
1. Express F1, F2 and FR in Cartesian vector form
2. Set FR = F1 + F2 to obtain the component of F2
3. Determine the direction angles of F2
A = Ax i + Ay j + Az k , B = Bx i + By j + Bz k
A × B = (Ax i + Ay j + Az k) × (Bx i + By j + Bz k)
A = Ax i + Ay j + Az k , B = Bx i + By j + Bz k
