Question

If the resultant of two unlike parallel forces of
magnitudes 10 N and 16 N act along a line at a
distance of 24 cm from the line of action of the
smaller force is 8 N, then the distance between
the lines of action of the force is :
(a) 12 cm
(b) 8 cm
(C) 10.66 cm (d) 18 cm
​

Answer 1

Answer:

(C) 10.66 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the force of magnitude 10N and 16N be acting at A and B respectively. suppose the resultant acts at C.

Then,

Taking moment of forces about B.

10.x=8.(24-x)

=> 10x = 192-8x

=> 18x=192

=> x=10.66cm
