Explanation:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Let the two vectors be A and B, and their resultant be R.
- Let the angle between A and B be θ
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- A=2N
- B=3N
- R=4N
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Now R² = A² + B² + 2AB cosθ
So, 4² = 2² + 3² + 2 × 3 × 4cosθ
So, 16 = 4 + 9 + 24cosθ
So, 16 = 13 + 24cosθ
So, 3 = 24 cosθ
So, 3/24 = cosθ
So, cosθ = 1/8
So, θ = cos–¹(1/8)
