Any vector quantity can be represented as a line segment where its length represents the magnitude of the vector, and the angle θrepresent the direction of the vector as shown in figure (1). A vector can be resolved into two components; x – component (ax) and y – components (ay), their magnitudes can be determined using the equations:
