Question

what is the difference between Triangle Law of vector addition and parallelogram law of vector addition?

Answer 1

The difference between triangle law of vector addition and parallelogram law of vector addition :-

TRIANGLE LAW OF VECTOR ADDITION:- If two vectors are represented in magnitude and direction by two sides of a triangle taken in the same order then,the third side of a the triangle represents the resultant of these two vectors when taken in the opposite order both in magnitude and direction.

PARALLELOGRAM LAW OF VECTOR ADDITION:- If two vectors are represented both in magnitude by the two sides of a parallelogram passing through a common point then the diagonal represent the resultant of these two vectors both passing through that point.

Answer 2

Answer:

Difference between Triangle Law and Parallelogram Law

Explanation:

Triangle law is for two vectors when the second vector deviates from the direction of the first vector. Note here that second vector starts after the first vector. But in parallelogram law, the two vectors start from the same initial point in two different directions.
