Vectors
Vectors is defined as mathematical expressions possessing magnitude and direction, which add according to the parallelogram law. It is represented by arrows.
The magnitude of a vector defines the length of the arrow used to represent the vector.

Types of vectors: 1) Fixed vectors: cannot be moved without modifying the conditions of the problem. 2) Free vectors: couples, which represented by vectors which may be freely moved in space. 3) Sliding vectors: forces acting on a rigid body, which represented by vectors which can be moved, or slid, along their lines of action.

Addition of Vectors
Vectors add according to the parallelogram law. The sum of two vectors P and Q is obtained by attaching the two vectors to the same point A and constructing a parallelogram, using P and Q as two sides of the parallelogram.
The diagonal that passes through A represents the sum of the vectors P and Q which denoted as P + Q. However, the magnitude of the vector P+Q is NOT In general, equal to the sum (P+Q) of the magnitudes of the vectors P and Q. Since that, we conclude that the addition of two Vectors is commutative, write as: P+Q=Q+P

which expresses the fact that vector addition is associative. Recalling that vector addition has been shown, in the case of two vectors, to be commutative, we write: P + Q + S = (P + Q) + S = S + (P + Q) = S + (Q + P) = S + Q + P

Example 2.4
Resolve the 1000 N ( 100 kg) force acting on the pipe Fig. a, into components in the (a) x and y directions, and (b) x and y directions.

Part (a) The vector addition F = Fx + Fy is shown in Fig. b. In particular, note that the length of the components is scaled along the x and y axes by first constructing lines from the tip of F parallel to the axes in accordance with the parallelogram law. From the vector triangle, Fig. c,

Example 2.5
The force F acting on the frame shown in Fig.2-12a has a magnitude of 500 N and is to be resolved into two components acting along members AB and AC. Determine the angle , measured below the horizontal, so that the component FAC is directed from A toward C and has a magnitude of 400 N.

Using this value for , apply the law of cosines or the law of sines and show that FAB has a magnitude of 561 N. Notice that F can also be directed at an angle above the horizontal, as shown in Fig. d, and still produce the required component FAC. Show that in this case = 16.1 and FAB = 161 N.

Example 2.6
The ring shown in Figure a is subjected to two forces, F1 and F2. if it is required that the resultant force have a magnitude of 1 kN and be directed vertically downward, determine (a) the magnitudes of F1 and F2 provided = 30, and (b) the magnitudes of F1 and F2 if F2 is to be a minimum.
36

Solution: Part (a): i. A sketch of the vector addition according to the parallelogram law is shown in Fig. b. ii. From the vector triangle constructed in Fig. c, the unknown magnitudes F1 and F2 are determined by using the law of sines:
37
continue
Part (b): i. If is not specified, then by the vector triangle, Fig. d, F2 may be added to F1 in various ways to yield the resultant 1000 N force. ii. The minimum length or magnitude of F2 will occur when its line of action is perpendicular to F1. iii. Any other direction, such as OA or OB, yields a larger value for F2. iv. Hence, when = 90 - 20 = 70, F2 is minimum. v. From the triangle shown in Fig. e, it is seen that;

To solve this problem using Cartesian vector notation, each force is first represented as a Cartesian vector, i.e; F1 = F1x i + F1y j F2 = - F2x i + F2y j F3 = F3x i - F3y j The vector resultant is therefore; FR = F1 + F2+ F3 = F1x i + F1y j - F2x i + F2y j + F3x i - F3y j = (F1x - F2x i + F3x )i + (F1y + F2y - F3y ) j = (FRx )i + (FRy )j

The vector resultant is therefore; FR = = (FRx )i + (FRy )j In the general case, the x and y components of the resultant of any number of coplanar forces can be represented symbolically by the algebraic sum of the x and y components of all the forces;
40
continue
When applying these equations, it is important to use the sign convention establish for the components. Components having a directional sense along the positive coordinate axes are considered positive scalars. Components having a directional sense along the negative coordinate axes are considered negative scalars. If this convention is followed, then the signs of the resultant components will specify the sense of these components. For example; positive result indicates that the component has a directional sense which is in positive coordinate direction.

Cartesian Vectors
Right handed coordinate system.
A right handed coordinate system will be used for developing the theory of vector algebra that follows. A rectangular or Cartesian coordinate system is said to be right-handed provided the thumb of the right hand points in the direction of the positive z axis when the right-hand fingers are curled about this axis and directed from the positive x toward the positive y axis.

Right-handed coordinate system is used to reference the location of points in space. In many technical books, to require the positive z axis to be directed upward (the zenith direction) so that is measures the height of an object or the altitude of the point. The x and y axes then lie in the horizontal plane. Points in space are located relative to the origin of coordinates, O, by successive measurements along the x, y, z axes.

Solution: First, establish a position vector A to B, Figure (b). The coordinates of the tail A (1 m, 0, -3 m) are substracted from the coordinates of the head B (-2 m, 2 m, 3 m), which yields;
