The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze two cases involving vectors \( \vec{P}, \vec{Q}, \) and \( \vec{R} \) where \( P = Q = R \). ### Case 1: \( \vec{P} + \vec{Q} = \vec{R} \) 1. **Given**: \( \vec{P} + \vec{Q} = \vec{R} \) and \( P = Q = R \). 2. **Substituting**: Since \( P = Q = R \), we can write \( \vec{Q} = \vec{R} - \vec{P} \). 3. **Using the cosine rule**: The magnitude of \( \vec{Q} \) can be expressed as: \[ |\vec{Q}|^2 = |\vec{R}|^2 + |\vec{P}|^2 - 2 |\vec{R}||\vec{P}| \cos(\theta_1) \] Since \( |\vec{P}| = |\vec{Q}| = |\vec{R}| = x \): \[ x^2 = x^2 + x^2 - 2x^2 \cos(\theta_1) \] 4. **Simplifying**: \[ x^2 = 2x^2 - 2x^2 \cos(\theta_1) \] \[ 0 = x^2 - 2x^2 \cos(\theta_1) \] \[ 2x^2 \cos(\theta_1) = x^2 \] \[ \cos(\theta_1) = \frac{1}{2} \] 5. **Finding \( \theta_1 \)**: \[ \theta_1 = 60^\circ \] ### Case 2: \( \vec{P} + \vec{Q} + \vec{R} = \vec{0} \) 1. **Given**: \( \vec{P} + \vec{Q} + \vec{R} = \vec{0} \). 2. **Rearranging**: This implies \( \vec{R} = -(\vec{P} + \vec{Q}) \). 3. **Using the cosine rule**: The magnitude of \( \vec{Q} \) can be expressed as: \[ |\vec{Q}|^2 = |\vec{P}|^2 + |\vec{R}|^2 + 2 |\vec{P}||\vec{R}| \cos(\theta_2) \] Since \( |\vec{P}| = |\vec{Q}| = |\vec{R}| = x \): \[ x^2 = x^2 + x^2 + 2x^2 \cos(\theta_2) \] 4. **Simplifying**: \[ x^2 = 2x^2 + 2x^2 \cos(\theta_2) \] \[ 0 = x^2 + 2x^2 \cos(\theta_2) \] \[ 2x^2 \cos(\theta_2) = -x^2 \] \[ \cos(\theta_2) = -\frac{1}{2} \] 5. **Finding \( \theta_2 \)**: \[ \theta_2 = 120^\circ \] ### Conclusion: Relation between \( \theta_1 \) and \( \theta_2 \) From our calculations: - \( \theta_1 = 60^\circ \) - \( \theta_2 = 120^\circ \) Thus, the relation between \( \theta_1 \) and \( \theta_2 \) is: \[ \theta_1 = \frac{\theta_2}{2} \]
