Q.

Two vectors of equal magnitude P are inclined at some angle such that the difference in magnitude of resultant and magnitude of either of the vectors is 0.732 times either of the magnitude of vectors. If the angle between them is increased by half of its initial value then find the magnitude of difference of the vectors

Detailed Solution

RP=0.732P

R=P2+Q2+2PQcosθ

=P2+P2+2P2cosθ

=2P2+2P2cosθ

=2P2(1+cosθ)           1+cosθ=1+cos2(θ/2)[cos2θ=2cos2θ1]

=2P2.2cos2θ2                                  =1+2cos2θ21

R=4P2cos2θ2                                  =2cos2θ2

R=2Pcosθ2

RP=2Pcosθ2P=0.732P

2Pcosθ2P=0.732P

P(2cosθ21)=0.732P

2cosθ2=1.732

2cosθ2=3

cosθ2=32

cosθ2=cos30

θ2=30°

θ=60° , if angle is increased by half of its initial value

θ1=θ+θ2=60+30=90°

R=P2+Q22PQcos90°

=2P22P2×0=2P2

R=2P
