Questions  

The resultant of two forces cannot exceed

a
average of the forces
b
algebraic sum of the two forces
c
difference of the two forces
d
none

detailed solution

Correct option is B

If α be the angle between the forces P→and  Q→, then their resultant is given by R→⇒R =Since (1+cosα) is positive , magnitude of resultant R is less than or equal to i.e R ≤ (P+Q), equality sign holds good when (1-cosα) = 0 i.e α =00.
