Two equal forces are creting perpenclicular to each
other. Their refultant force is 14.14 N. Find the
magnitude of each force
Answers
Given :
Two equal acts on the body perpendicular to each other. Their resultant is 14.14N.
To Find :
Magnitude of each force.
Solution :
❖ By triangle law or parallelogram law of vector addition, the magnitude of resultant R at two forces F₁ and F₂ inclined to each other at angle θ, is given by
- R² = F₁² + F₂² + 2F₁F₂ cosθ
Here, F₁ = F₂ = F
By substituting the given values;
➙ (14.14)² = F² + F² + 2(F)(F) cos90°
➙ 200 = 2F² + 2F² (0)
➙ F² = 200/2
➙ F = √100
➙ F = 10 N
Knowledge BoosteR :
- The latin word vector means carrier.
- The physical quantities which have no specified direction and have different values in different directions are called tensors. For example moment of inertia
- Null vector is a vector which has zero magnitude and an arbitrary direction.
- Negative vector of a given vector is a vector of same magnitude but acting in a direction opposite to that of the given vector.
- A vector whose initial point is fixed is called a localised vector and whose initial point is not fixed is called non-localised vector.
