Physics - 8 Forces in Balance - 8.8 The Parallelogram of Forces

• You’ll be given two vectors and asked to find the magnitude of the resultant force

• You need to add to these two sides to create a parallelogram

  The resultant force is the length of the angle bisector between the vectors, given that it stops when it reaches the end of the parallelogram.

The practical for this topic is not required, but the apparatus looks like this;
