Prove that, Associated property using triangle
law of vector addition
Answers
Explanation:
COMMUTATIVE LAW
OF
VECTOR ADDITION
Consider two vectors and . Let these two vectors represent two adjacent sides of a parallelogram. We construct a parallelogram
OACB as shown in the diagram. The diagonal OC represents the resultant vector
From above figure it is clear that:
This fact is referred to as the commutative law of vectr addition .
ASSOCIATIVE LAW
OF
VECTOR ADDITION
The law states that the sum of vectors remains same irrespective of their order or grouping in which they are arranged.
Consider three vectors , and
Applying "head to tail rule" to obtain the resultant of (+ ) and (+ )
Then finally again find the resultant of these three vectors :
This fact is known as the ASSOCIATIVE LAW OF VECTOR ADDITION.
Explanation:
Triangle law of vector addition is one of the vector addition laws. Vector addition is defined as the geometrical sum of two or more vectors as they do not follow regular laws of algebra. The resultant vector is known as the composition of a vector.
