resultant vector using
a) Graphical or Parallelogram Method. (Make a sketch)
b) Components Method. (Make a sketch)
c) Compare your results from a) and b) by calculating the percentage error.
2. Given three vectors(forces) F1 = 200g; 3150, F2 = 300g; 500 and F3 = 400g; 1580.
Determine the resultant vector using
a) Graphical or Parallelogram Method. (Make a sketch)
b) Resolution or Components Method. (Make a sketch)
c) Compare your results from a) and b) by calculating the percentage error.
