Detailed Solution

From the triangle law of vector addition, it is clear that the vectors R, A and B must berepresented by the three sides of an equilateral triangle because the magnitudes of the three vectors are equal. Hence the angle a, between vectors R and A is 60°. Alternatively, the value of a is given by tanα=BsinθA+Bcsθ=sinθ1+cosθ Therefore, A=B =sin120°1+cos120°=1.732  which gives α=60°
