To determine

The way to add two vectors graphically.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Introduction: Vector is a quantity that has magnitude as well as direction. For example, force is a vector quantity but speed is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude.

Two vectors are drawn of a given magnitude with arrows at one end. The resultant vector can be drawn by drawing an arrow from the starting point of the first vector that is from the tail to the tip of the second vector. The measure of the length of the arrow drawn will give resultant of two vectors.
