In this section you will learn how to break a 2D force into two components. You will learn several ways to do this. First you will learn the parallelogram (or triangle rule) method in which force vectors are added head-to-tail. Then after that you will learn how to break force vectors into Cartesian components, that is along the x and y axis. This is an important concept in statics because just about every problem in statics requires you to do this. |
