The resultant of vecP and vecQ is perpen...

The resultant of `vecP` and `vecQ` is perpendicular to `vecP`. What is the angle between `vecP` and `vecQ`

A

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

B

Q

C

`(P)/(Q)`

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B


`R^(2)=P^(2)+Q^(2)+2PQ cos theta`

`tan alpha=(2Q sin theta)/({+2Q cos theta)=oo`
`cos theta=(-P)/(2Q)`
`R^(2)=P^(2)+Q^(2)+2PQ((-P))/(2Q)rArrR=Q`
