Resolution of a Vector
Chemical Reaction Engineering Group, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
Resolution of a vector is breaking up a vector into
components.
It is kind of like using the parallelogram law in reverse.

The forces are first resolved into component
along two axes which are perpendicular to each
other. The normal is use the x and y axes.

Rectangular Component of Forces
The graphical method is simple but might lack the accuracy
required. A suitable scale must be employed to avoid errors.
The trigonometry method is more suitable for addition of two
forces. The resultant of many forces will result in longer and
tedious calculations. There are two instances where this method is
invaluable:
Determine the component of force which are not
perpendicular to each other .
In special cases, when there are 3 unknowns involved,
usually finding the minimum value of a force.
The rectangular components methods is suitable for almost
all category question (except the two discussed above),
especially so in problem involving several concurrent forces.
