To solve the problem of finding the angle at which the two forces \( (P + Q) \) and \( (P - Q) \) act so that their resultant is \( \sqrt{3P^2 + Q^2} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the expression for the resultant of two forces Using the law of vector addition, the magnitude of the resultant \( R \) of two forces \( A \) and \( B \) acting at an angle \( \theta \) is given by: \[ R = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB \cos \theta} \] In our case, we have: ...
