This document discusses vector laws and their basics. It defines vectors and scalars, and how vectors are represented by their magnitude, direction, and unit. It then explains the triangular law for adding two vectors by resolving them into their x and y components. The parallelogram law and polygon law are also introduced as ways to find the resultant of multiple vectors using geometric constructions.

3. Basics of Vector
Difference between vector and scalar
Scalar Vector
1. The quantities which has magnitude and direction are
vector quantities
1. The quantities which has only magnitude, and no
direction, are scalar quantities
2. The vector quantities are more than one dimensional
quantities
2. The scalar quantities are one dimensional
quantities
3. The vector can not be divided with another vector
quantities
3. The scalar can be divided with another scalar
quantities
4. Number (Magnitude), direction (Unit vector) and unit
is required to represent vector quantities
4. Number (Magnitude) and unit is only required to
represent scalar quantities

As Pythagoras theorem
2 = ( + cos )2+( sin )2
2 = 2 + 2基 cos + ( cos )2+( sin )2
2 = 2 + 2基 cos + 2
