Question

The resultant of two equal forces acting at right angles to each other is 1414 dyne. Find the magnitude of either force

Answer 1

Answer:

The resultant of the two forces acting perpendicular to each other and being equal will be √2 times the force.So if the resultant is 1414 N or 100√2 then both the forces will come out to be 100 N. The magnitude of R is ( A^2+A^2)^1/2=A root2.
