355559 The resultant of two forces at right angle is 5 N. When the angle between them is 120∘, the resultant is 13. Then, the force is
Let, A and B be the two forces.A2+B2=5or A2+B2=25(1)and A2+B2+2ABcos120∘=13or 25+2AB×(−1/2)=13or 2AB=24(2)Solving eq's (1) and (2), we getA=3Nand B=4N
355560 Given R→=A→+B→ and R=A=B. the angle between A→ and B→ is
For the resultant,R2=R2+R2+2R2cosθ⇒R2=2R2+2R2cosθ12=1+cosθor cosθ=−12 or θ=120∘
355561 Given that A→+B→=C→ and C→ is ⊥ to A→. Further if |A→|=|C→|, then what is the angle between A→ and B→
Here, A→+B→=C→ and B→=C→−A→Since C→⊥A→ thereforeB2=C2+A2−2CAcos(90∘)Also, |C→|=|A→|B2=2A2⇒B=2ANow, A2+B2+2ABcosθ=C2=A2Therefore we find cosθ=−12This gives θ=3π4
355562 If ABcosθ=AB, then the angle between A and B is
As, ABcosθ=ABcosθ=1⇒θ=0∘
