Question

Two forces equal to 3P and P act on a particle. If the first force is doubled and the second force is increased by 15N, find the value of P if the direction of the resultant remains unaltered.​

Answer 1

Answer:

pressure = 10

Explanation:

If the direction of the resultant force does not change, it means the angle between them remain the same.

Assuming the angle was initially 45 degrees, it will remain the same

Tan 45 = 2p/2p = 1

First force is doubled, it becomes = 4p

20N is added to the second force, it becomes = 2p + 20

Tan 45 = 4p/(2p + 20) = 1

4p = 2p + 20

2p = 20

p = 10
