To prove that the vectors \(\vec{P}\) and \(\vec{Q}\) are parallel to each other given that \(\vec{P} + \vec{Q} = \vec{R}\) and \(P + Q = R\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given equations We are given two equations: 1. \(\vec{P} + \vec{Q} = \vec{R}\) (vector equation) 2. \(P + Q = R\) (magnitude equation) ### Step 2: Use the formula for the magnitude of the resultant of two vectors ...
