Statics - Force Vectors
Scalars are basic quantities without a direction (mass, time, etc.) Vectors are used to describe a quantity with a magnitude (quantity) and direction (angle of application). These notes cover the addition/subtraction/multiplication/division of vectors in a force system. Examples cover breaking down vectors into component forces and determining resultant vectors.
