Motion in a plane

Question

The greatest and least resultant of two forces are 7 N and 3 N respectively. If each of the force is increased by 3 N and applied at 60°. The magnitude of the new resultant is

Moderate
Solution

P + Q = 7 N ; P – Q = 3 N     
P = 5 N, Q = 2 N                      

P1 = 8 N, Q1 = 5 N, θ = 600
 

{R^1} = \sqrt {{{(8)}^2} + {{(5)}^2} + 2 X 8 X 5 \times \frac{1}{2}}


 

= \sqrt {64 + 25 + 40} = \sqrt {129} N
