Question

Two equal forces of 2 N each are applied to a body, forming an angle of 90º with each other.

Answer 1

Answer:

Are you asking about the resultant force? if yes then here's your solution!

The resultant force will be at 45° angle with the horizontal with the magnitude of 2 root 2

As the forces are equal and are forming a right angle, thus a right angle triangle would be formed where the legs of the triangle are equal to 2 N and the hypotenuse is equal to the resultant force, I.e. 2 root 2

From Pythagoras Theorem,

H= [P²+B²]^(1/2)

==> H = sqrt( 4+4)

==> H = 2 root 2

Which is the required resultant force
