Resultant of two forces acting at an angle (Parallelogram of forces)

Consider two forces acting on an object make a certain angle. The forces and can be represented in magnitude and direction by two adjacent sides of a parallelogram.

 By adding and also and by Head-to-Tail rule, the resultant force is a vector represented by the diagonal from the points of intersection. This is called “Parallelogram of forces”.
