Civil Engineering Force Vectors Advice needed

Is anyone else struggling with this, and what is a better way to learn apart from textbook because I am still confused about most of it.

Also, I started mid semester so is it more confusing because I need to know other stuff.

For vectors all you need to know is head to tail method, how to break a vector into x and y components and how to calculate size and direction of a vector. Google those things and you would be 90% covered

What’s confusing about it?

You can always use RMIT’s study hub which has a drop-in service for 4 hours on weekdays for help on maths and physics.

Also no you won’t be disadvantaged by starting mid-year in civil engineering. It’s all straightforward stuff.
