    CE 001 - Lecture 2

    Uploaded by

    afu'og kaH4
    This document discusses methods for analyzing 3D vector systems including: 1) Magnitude and direction of a vector can be found using the Pythagorean theorem and directional cosines which relate the vector components to reference axes. 2) The lambda method can be used to express one vector as a scalar multiple of another to find their resultant. 3) Examples are provided for using these methods to find vector resultants and represent forces as Cartesian vectors.
