Struct Vector

pub struct Vector { /* private fields */ }

Type that implements a vector for force calculations.

Internally, it’s represented as a magnitude and angle. You can consider it as a right triangle similar to the below:

         /|
        / |
       /  |
      /___|

The Vector also provides the ability to get the component forces (vertical and horizontal) which is useful for calculating composite forces.

Implementations

impl Vector

pub fn unit() -> Self

A vector of magnitude 1, with angle 0deg

pub fn from_mag_and_angle(mag: Mass, angle: Angle) -> Self

Factor based on a magnitude and angle

pub fn mag(&self) -> Mass

pub fn angle(&self) -> &Angle

pub fn vertical(&self) -> Vector

The vertical component of the Vector

pub fn horizontal(&self) -> Vector

The horizontal component of the Vector
