If the angle alpha between two forces of...

If the angle `alpha` between two forces of equal magnitude is reduced to `(alpha-pi//3),` then the magnitude of their resultant becomes `(alpha-pi//3),`times of the earlier one. The angle `alpha` is

A

`pi//2`

B

`2pi//2`

C

`pi//4`

D

`4pi//5`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`sqrt(F^(2)+F^(2)+2F^(2)cos(alpha(pi)/(3)))=sqrt3xx[sqrt(F^(2)+F^(2)+2F^(2)cosalpha)]`
on solving `,alpha=(2pi)/(3)" ""]"`
