Questions  

 Two forces P and Q have a resultant perpendicular to P. The angle between the forces is 

a
tan−1 −PQ
b
cos−1 PQ
c
sin−1 PQ
d
cos−1 −PQ

detailed solution

Correct option is D

tan⁡α=Qsin⁡θP+Qcos⁡θ  where α= angle made by R→ with P→ and θ= angle between P→ and Q→  Here, α=90∘,tan⁡α=tan⁡90∘=∞ ∴P+Qcos⁡θ=0⇒cos⁡θ=−PQ⇒θ=cos−1⁡−PQ
