Now that we have the skills to work with vectors in two dimensions, we can apply vector addition to graphically determine the resultant vector, which represents the total force.

The tail of the third vector is placed at the head of the second vector. The resultant vector is drawn from the tail of the first vector to the head of the last vector.

A resultant vector can be found by placing the component vectors 'head to tail' in a vector diagram. This tutorial uses a graphical scale to find the size of the resultant velocity vector....
