General Physics, Forces

This section covers the following syllabus (Physics 5059) requirements.

add two vectors to determine a resultant by a graphical method
solve problems for a static point mass under the action of 3 forces for 2-dimensional cases (a graphical method would suffice)

Add two vectors to determine a resultant by a graphical method (scale drawing). Solve problems for a static point mass under the action of 3 forces for 2-dimensional cases, using scale drawing parallelogram method.

add two vectors to determine a resultant by a graphical method (scale drawing). solve problems for a static point mass under the action of 3 forces for 2-dimensional cases, using scale drawing tip to tail method.
