The sum of three vectors shown in Fig. 2...

The sum of three vectors shown in Fig. 2 ( c) . 77. is zero .
.
(a) What is the magnitude of the vector ` vec (OB) `?
(b) What is the magnitude of the vector ` vec (OC)` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Resolve `vecOC` into two rectangular componenets.
`OD=OC cos 45^(@)` and `OE-OC sin 45^(@)`
for zero resultant `OE=OA` or `OC sin 45^(@)=10N`
`Ocxx(1)/sqrt(2)=10N` or `OC=10sqrt(2N)`
and `OD=OB` or `OC cos 45^(@)=OB`
or `10sqrt(2)=OB` or `OB=10N`
`therefore OC=10sqrt(2N)` and `OB=10N`
