CHAPTER 3 MOTION IN A PLANE
Polygon Law of VectorsIt states that if number of vectors acting on a particle at a time are represented in magnitude and – direction by the various sides of an open polygon taken in same order, their resultant vector E is represented in magnitude and direction by the closing side of polygon taken in opposite order. In fact, polygon law of vectors is the outcome of triangle law of vectors.
R = A + B + C + D + E
OE = OA + AB + BC + CD + DE
