Parallelogram Law of Forces states, "if two forces acting simultaneously on a particle be represented in magnitude and direction by two adjacent sides of a parallelogram, their resultant may be represented in magnitude and direction by
Its longer side
The diagonal of the parallelogram which passes through the point of intersection of the forces
Its shorter side
The diagonal of the parallelogram which does not pass through the point of intersection of the forces
