If the resultannt of two forces of magnitudes P and Q acting at a point at an angle of `60^(@)` is `sqrt(7)Q`, then P/Q isA. 1B. `(3)/(2)`C. `2`D. 4 |

Answer» Correct Answer - C `R^(2)=P^(2)+Q^(2)+2PQcostheta` `implies(sqrt(7)Q)^(2)=P^(2)+Q^(2)+2PQcos60^(@)` `implies7Q^(2)=P^(2)+Q^(2)+PQ` `impliesP^(2)+PQ-6Q^(2)=0` `impliesP^(2)+3PQ-2PQ-6Q^(2)=0` `impliesP(P+3Q)-2Q(P+3Q)=0` `implies(P-2Q)(P+3Q)=0` `impliesP-2Q=0` or `P+3Q=0` From `P-2Q=0 implies(P)/(Q)=2` |
