Steps in Graphical Method
  1. First, choose an appropriate scale and coordinate system for the given vectors.
  2. Draw the first vector starting from the origin of the coordinate system. Draw the second vector starting from the head of the first vector. Proceed to draw the remaining vectors starting from the head of the most recent vector drawn. All vectors must be connected in series, head-to-tail fashion.
  3. Draw a new vector connecting the tail of the first to the head of the last vector drawn. the new vector is the resultant of the given vectors.
