resultant of of two forces one of which is double the others is 260 n if the direction of the large force is Reverse and the other remains an alter the resultant reduce to 180 n determine the magnitude of forces and angle between the forces
Hello candidate,
Force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude as well as a specific direction for motion. Hence, in order to find the resultant force acting we need to go for the vector method of addition.
The angle between the two forces is 180 degree, and one of the two force is double the other, and the resultant magnitude of force is given as 260 N, so one of the force is 260 Newton and the other force is 520 Newton.
Hope it was informational!!
