under what condition the sum of two vectors will be zero

OpenStudy (souvik):

their magnitude would be same and they would act in the same line and opposite direction..

OpenStudy (missmob):

so thats when hey will be zero

OpenStudy (souvik):

hmm

OpenStudy (dumbsearch2):

Yes, the three vectors that make up a triangle sum to zero, imagine you are walking on a path described by three vectors that form a triangle, your total displacement, the vector sum of distance traveled from the start, is zero, since you end up where you started.
