WE-6:Sumofmagnitudesof the two forces actingat a point is 16 N. If their resultant is normalto the smaller force, and has a magnitude 8Nthen the forces are( 2012E) |
|
Answer» Let the force of smaller magnitude be A and the force of larger magnitude be B. here,it is clearly given that the resultant force is R perpendicular to small force. hence, we can say that b is the hyopetenuse . therefore, b² = R² + A²=> R² = b² - A²= 8²= 64 .......................... ( 1 ). here, it is also given thatA + B = 16 therefore , B = 16 - A ..........................( 2 ). Now, by substituting ( 2 ) in ( 1 ).we get, ( 16 - A ) ²- A² = 64=> 256 - 32A + A² - A² = 6432A = 256 - 64 = 192A = 192 / 32 = 6 hence, we get the resultB = 16 - A = 16 - 6 = 10 therefore, the magnitude of the two vectors are 6 and 10. |
