Vector Analysis

ADVANCED ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS: LESSON 3


PREPARED BY: ENGR. APRIL JOY F. AGUADO
CSPC COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND ARCHITEC TURE
VECTOR and SCALAR
A vector is a quantity having both magnitude and direction.
Examples:
displacement,
force,
velocity,
acceleration, etc.

A vector is represented by an arrow which defines the direction and the


length which indicates the magnitude.
head
terminal point

tail end
initial point

A scalar is a quantity having magnitude but no direction.


Examples:
mass, length, distance, speed, temperature, etc.
Properties of Vectors
Consider vectors A and B.

1.) These vectors are equal if they have the same magnitude and direction
regardless of the positions of their initial points.
Consider vectors A and B.

2.) A vector with a direction opposite to that of a vector A but having the
same magnitude is denoted by –A.
3. Vectors A and B has a sum or
resultant C formed by placing the
initial point of B on the terminal point
of A and then joining the initial point
of A to the terminal point of B.

The sum is denoted as C = A + B.
