Vectorial mechanics, often referred to as vector mechanics, is a branch of mechanics that deals with the analysis of forces and motion using vector quantities. It focuses on representing physical quantities such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, and force as vectors, which are defined by their magnitude and direction. This approach is particularly useful in solving problems involving multiple forces acting on a body, as it allows for the decomposition of vectors into components and the application of vector algebra.
