### Step-by-Step Solution **Step 1: State the Parallelogram Law of Vector Addition** The Parallelogram Law of Vector Addition states that if two vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) are represented as two adjacent sides of a parallelogram, then the resultant vector \( \vec{R} \) can be represented by the diagonal of the parallelogram that starts from the same point. Mathematically, the magnitude of the resultant vector can be expressed as: \[ |\vec{R}| = \sqrt{|\vec{A}|^2 + |\vec{B}|^2 + 2 |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos \theta} ...
