◘ Given ◘
The resultant of two forces one double the other in magnitudes is perpendicular to the smaller of the two forces.
◘ To Find ◘
The angle between the forces.
◘ Solution ◘
Let the two forces be F₁ and F₂ .
Now,
► |F₁| = 2 × |F₂| (Given)
From the above relation, we get that the force F₂ is smaller.
According to the given conditions,
R is perpendicular to F₂.
We know,
• R = Sum of the 2 forces
→ R = F₁ + F₂
Finally, we get :-
R × F₂ = 0 (As it is perpendicular)
→ (F₁ + F₂) × F₂ = 0
→ F₁ . F₂ + F₂² = 0
Taking magnitude :
→ ( |F₁| . |F₂| cosθ ) + |F₂|² = 0
→ ( 2 × |F₂| . |F₂| cosθ ) + |F₂|² = 0
→ 2 |F₂|² cosθ + |F₂|² = 0
Taking |F₂|² common :-
→ |F₂|² (2 cosθ + 1) = 0
→ 2 cosθ + 1 = 0
→ 2 cosθ = -1
→ cosθ = -1/2
→ cosθ = cos 120°
→ θ = 120°
Therefore, the angle between the forces is 120°.

Take F1=x and F2= 2x acc to question
Now as R makes 90° with F1 .. apply pythogorous tum
R sq = x sq + 2x sq
Rsq = 9x sq
R= 3x
Rsq =√a sq + b sq + 2 ab cos©
3x sq = 6 x cos©
Cos© = -1\2
© = 120°
Guys it took so much to type please thank it will be good
