Vedclass · Answer

(C) Let the two vectors be $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$ with magnitudes $A = 3$ and $B = 4$. Let $\vec{R}$ be their resultant.If we resolve both vectors along the direction perpendicular to the resultant $\vec{R}$,the sum of the components must be zero because the resultant has no component perpendicular to itself.Thus,the component of vector $3$ perpendicular to $\vec{R}$ must be equal in magnitude to the component of vector $4$ perpendicular to $\vec{R}$ in the opposite direction.Therefore,$3 \sin \alpha = 4 \sin \beta$.Rearranging the terms,we get $\frac{\sin \alpha}{\sin \beta} = \frac{4}{3}$.

Two vectors of magnitude $3$ and $4$ have a resultant which makes angles $\alpha$ and $\beta$ respectively with them (given $\alpha + \beta \neq 90^o$).

Let $\vec{P} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ and $\vec{Q} = -(\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})$. The angle between $(\vec{P} - \vec{Q})$ and $\vec{P}$ is (in $^\circ$)

Two forces are such that the sum of their magnitudes is $18 \,N$ and their resultant is perpendicular to the smaller force and the magnitude of the resultant is $12 \,N$. Then the magnitudes of the forces are:
