SCALAR AND VECTORS

 A scalar quantity is completely described by a magnitude (number).
- Examples: mass, density, length, speed, time, temperature.
 A vector quantity has a magnitude and direction and obeys the

parallelogram law of addition.
- Examples: force, moment, velocity, acceleration.
VECTORS

THE SUM OF TWO VECTORS- GEOMETRICAL

REPRESENTATION
 Two vectors can be added vectorially using the parallelogram law.
 Position vector F1 so that its initial point coincides with the initial point
of F2. The vector F1+ F2 is represented by the vector R

Note, written in this form is the correct way to express a “Cartesian Vector”

VECTORS WITH INITIAL POINT NOT AT THE ORIGIN
EXAMPLE:
 Find the components of the vector having initial point P1 and terminal
point P2

APPLICATION OF VECTOR ADDITION
 There are three concurrent forces

acting on the hook due to the
chains.
 We need to decide if the hook
will fail (bend or break).
 To do this, we need to know the
resultant or total force acting on
the hook as a result of the three
chains.

PARALLELOGRAM LAW OR TRIANGLE

ORTHOGONAL VERSUS PERPENDICULAR
 You want to start to move away from using the word Perpendicular.
 Perpendicular is a word that has meaning in 2-Dimensional geometry.
 Orthogonal is a word that generalizes the concept into higher dimensions

9/17/2022
ORTHOGONAL VERSUS PERPENDICULAR
 The line that is normal to this plane is

orthogonal to the plane.
 This line is perpendicular to any line that one

can draw in the plane (in a new plane that
contains both lines) dimensions
ADDITION OF SEVERAL VECTORS
 Step 1 is to resolve each force into its

components.
 Step 2 is to add all the x-components
together, followed by adding all the y-
components together. These two totals
are the x and y-components of the
resultant vector.
 Step 3 is to find the magnitude and
angle of the resultant vector.

You can also represent a 2-D vector with a magnitude and angle
