The resultant of two forces, one double of the other magnitude, is perpendicular to the smaller of two forces. The angle between the two force is

a
60°
b
120°
c
150°
d
90°

detailed solution

Correct option is B

See figure. P and Q (2P) are two forces and their resultant is R. The angle between P and Q is α.From figure, cos⁡θ=PQ=P2P=12∴θ=cos−1⁡12=60∘So,α=180∘−60∘=120∘
