To Explain: Subtraction of two vectors graphically.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Vector is a physical quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. Geometrically, it is represented by a line segment having an arrow.
The length of line represents the magnitude while the arrow represents the direction.
For subtracting two vectors graphically, the direction of the second vector is reversed.
Then both vectors are added.
Graphically,
Here, for subtracting vector A and B
