Statics
Rectangular Components of a Force: Unit Vectors
May resolve a force vector into perpendicular
components so that the resulting parallelogram is a
rectangle. Fx and Fy are referred to as rectangular
vector components and

F = Fx + Fy

Define perpendicular unit vectors i and j which are


parallel to the x and y axes.

Vector components may be expressed as products of


the unit vectors with the scalar magnitudes of the
vector components.

F = Fx i + Fy j

Fx and Fy are referred to as the scalar components of F

Statics
Addition of Forces by Summing Components
Wish to find the resultant of 3 or more
concurrent forces,

R = P+Q+S
Resolve each force into rectangular components

R x i + R y j = Px i + Py j + Q x i + Q y j + S x i + S y j

= ( Px + Q x + S x )i + (Py + Q y + S y ) j
The scalar components of the resultant are
equal to the sum of the corresponding scalar
components of the given forces.
R y = Py + Q y + S y
R x = Px + Q x + S x
= Fx
= Fy
To find the resultant magnitude and direction,
