(N/A) Subtraction of vectors can be defined in terms of the addition of vectors.
We define the difference of two vectors $\overrightarrow{A}$ and $\overrightarrow{B}$ as the sum of two vectors $\overrightarrow{A}$ and $-\overrightarrow{B}$.
$\overrightarrow{A} - \overrightarrow{B} = \overrightarrow{A} + (-\overrightarrow{B})$
Thus,the subtraction of vectors means adding the opposite of a vector to another vector.
In figure $(a)$,$\vec{A}$,$\vec{B}$,and $-\vec{B}$ are represented.
In figure $(b)$,$-\vec{B}$ is added to $\vec{A}$.
By the triangle method for vector addition,
$\overrightarrow{R_{2}} = \overrightarrow{A} + (-\overrightarrow{B})$
$\therefore \overrightarrow{R_{2}} = \overrightarrow{A} - \overrightarrow{B}$
(For comparison,$\overrightarrow{R_{1}} = \overrightarrow{A} + \overrightarrow{B}$ is shown).

If two forces of equal magnitudes act simultaneously on a body in the east and the north directions,then:

Let $\vec{P} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ and $\vec{Q} = -(\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})$. The angle between $(\vec{P} - \vec{Q})$ and $\vec{P}$ is (in $^\circ$)

The resultant of two forces $3P$ and $2P$ is $R$. If the first force is doubled,then the resultant is also doubled. The angle between the two forces is ........... $^o$.

Two vectors $\vec A$ and $\vec B$ have magnitudes $2$ and $1$ respectively. If the angle between $\vec A$ and $\vec B$ is $60^{\circ}$,then which of the following vectors may be equal to $\frac{\vec A}{2} - \vec B$?

The sum of the magnitudes of two forces acting at a point is $16 \,N$. If their resultant is normal to the smaller force and has a magnitude of $8 \,N$, then the forces are:
