Complete the statements for step-by-step procedure for using the parallelogram method of
vector resolution:
1. Select a scale and accurately draw the vector to scale in the indicated direction.
2. Sketch a parallelogram around the vector: beginning at the tail of the vector, sketch vertical
and horizontal lines; then sketch horizontal and vertical lines at the head of the vector; the
sketched lines will meet to form a rectangle (a special case of a parallelogram).
3. Draw the components of the vector. The components are the sides of the parallelogram. The
tail of the components start at the tail of the vector and stretch along the axes to the nearest
corner of the parallelogram. Be sure to place arrowheads on these components to indicate their
direction (up, down, left, right).
4. Meaningfully label the components of the vectors with symbols to indicate which component
represents which side. A northward force component might be labeled Fnorth: A rightward
velocity component might be labeled v,; etc.
