The resultant of two vectors vec(P) and ...

The resultant of two vectors `vec(P)` and `vec(Q)` is `vec(R )`. If the magnitude of `vec(Q)` is doubled, the new resultant vector becomes perpendicular to `vec(P)`. Then, the magnitude of `vec(R )` is equal to

A

`(P^(2)-Q^(2))/(2PQ)`

B

`(P+Q)/(P-Q)`

C

`Q`

D

`P/Q`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`R^(2)=P^(2)+Q^(2)+2PQ cos theta` when `theta`is doubled
`tan90=(2Q sin theta)/(P+2Q cos theta)`
