The parallelogram law states that when two concurrent forces F1 &F2 acting on a body are represented by two adjacent sides of a parallelogram the diagonal passing through their point of concurrency represents the resultant force R in magnitude and direction
The Newton's Proof is used to illustrate the parallelogram law of forces. Two forces F1 and F2 with a displacement can be represented by one resultant force called FNET.
No, the diagonals of a parallelogram are not normally congruent unless the parallelogram is a rectangle.
False
Either diagonal of a parallelogram divides the parallelogram into two triangles of equal areas. Thus area of triangle abd = half that of the parallelogram abcd. The required ratio is 1 / 2.
Yes the diagonals of a parallelogram have the same midpoint since they bisect each other.
If the vector sum of forces on an object is zero, the forces are said to be balanced. Otherwise they are said to be unbalanced. Unbalanced forces will cause an acceleration, according to Newton's Second Law (a = F/m, where F is the net force, that is, the vector sum of all forces acting on the object).
it is applicable to two forces only
The parallelogram law of forces says that the sum of two forces is equivalent to the parallelogram formed by placing the first vector as starting from the origin and the second starting from the head of the first. This can be proven through trigonometric derivation of triangle angles and sides.

The parallelogram law of forces can be applied to any situation where multiple forces are acting on an object. The launching of a stunt person from a cannon in a circus is a prime example. To achieve a certain angle of launch with a certain velocity, an initial velocity must be applied to the person, but countering that is the force of gravity. So, the initial velocity is one leg of the parallelogram and the other leg is the force of gravity.

"If two vector quantities are represented by two adjacent sides or a parallelogram then the diagonal of parallelogram will be equal to the resultant of these two vectors."
The parallelogram law states that the sum of squares must equal the sum of its four sides. These equations are very complex and hard to understand.
add both forces
There are several parallelogram depending on the context. One such is that the sum of the squares on the four sides of a parallelogram equals the sum of squares on its diagonals.
