Two vectors vecA and vecB inclined at an...

Two vectors `vecA and vecB` inclined at an angle `theta` have a resultant `vecR` which makes an angle `alpha` with `vecA` and angle `beta` with `vecB`. Let the magnitudes of the vectors `vecA, vecB and vecR` be represented by A, B and R respectively. Which of the following relations is not correct ?

A

`(R)/(sin(alpha+beta))=(A)/(sin alpha) = (B)/(sin beta)`

B

`R sin alpha = B sin (alpha + beta)`

C

`A sin alpha = B sin beta`

D

`R sin beta = A sin (alpha + beta)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the two vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) inclined at an angle \(\theta\) and their resultant \(\vec{R}\), we will analyze the relationships between the angles and magnitudes of these vectors. The goal is to identify which of the given relations is not correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Vectors and Angles**: - Let \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) be two vectors with magnitudes \(A\) and \(B\) respectively. - The angle between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is \(\theta\). - The resultant vector \(\vec{R}\) makes an angle \(\alpha\) with \(\vec{A}\) and an angle \(\beta\) with \(\vec{B}\). 2. **Drawing the Diagram**: - Draw vector \(\vec{A}\) and vector \(\vec{B}\) such that they form an angle \(\theta\). - The resultant vector \(\vec{R}\) can be represented as the diagonal of a parallelogram formed by \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\). 3. **Using the Law of Sines**: - From the triangle formed by the vectors, we can apply the Law of Sines: \[ \frac{R}{\sin(\theta)} = \frac{A}{\sin(\beta)} = \frac{B}{\sin(\alpha)} \] - This gives us three relationships based on the angles and magnitudes of the vectors. 4. **Finding Relationships**: - From the Law of Sines, we can derive: \[ R \sin(\beta) = A \sin(\theta) \] \[ R \sin(\alpha) = B \sin(\theta) \] 5. **Combining Relationships**: - We can combine the relationships to find: \[ \frac{R}{\sin(\alpha + \beta)} = \frac{A}{\sin(\beta)} = \frac{B}{\sin(\alpha)} \] - This leads to the conclusion that: \[ A \sin(\alpha) = B \sin(\beta) \] 6. **Identifying the Incorrect Relation**: - The relations derived from the Law of Sines are valid, but we need to check which of the provided options does not hold true. - The incorrect relation will be one that does not satisfy the derived equations. ### Conclusion: After analyzing the relationships, the incorrect option among the provided choices is the one that does not hold true based on the derived equations from the Law of Sines.
