Finding resultant vectors using a rubber band

Most students have difficulty finding a resultant vector of graphical vector addition and subtraction. We offer here an alternative and simple way of finding a result of vector addition; using a rubber band, the magnitude and direction of a resultant vector can be shown immediately. © 2014 IOP Publi...
