9 . PARALLELOGRAM LAW OF VECTOR
To determine magnitude & direction of resultant vector, when two vectors act at an angle .
According to this law if two vectors
P and
Q are represented by two adjacent sides of a parallelogramboth pointing outwards as shown in fig. The diagonal drawn through the intersection of the two vectors
represents the resultant R .
+= QPR
From triangle OCM
OC2 = OM2 + CM2
= (P + Q cos)2 + (Q sin )2
= P2 + Q2 cos2 + 2PQ cos + Q2 sin2
Since Q2 (cos2 + sin2) = Q2
R2 = P2 + Q2 + 2PQ cos
++= cosPQ2QPR 22 (Magnitude of resultant vector)
and tan = OMCM
