Vectors Question 32

Question: Two forces 3N and 2 N are at an angle q such that the resultant is R. The first force is now increased to 6N and the resultant become 2R. The value of q is

[HP PMT 2000]

Options:

A) $ 30{}^\circ $

B) $ 60{}^\circ $

C) $ 90{}^\circ $

D) $ 120{}^\circ $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ A=3N $ , $ B=2N $ then $ R=\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}+2AB\cos \theta } $

$ R=\sqrt{9+4+12\cos \theta } $ ?(i) Now $ A=6N $ , $ B=2N $ then $ 2R=\sqrt{36+4+24\cos \theta } $ ?(ii) from (i) and (ii) we get $ \cos \theta =-\frac{1}{2} $
$ \

Therefore $ $ \theta =120{}^\circ $
