The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the magnitude of the vector sum \( |F_1 + F_2| \) given that the magnitudes of the dot product and cross product of two vectors \( F_1 \) and \( F_2 \) are equal, and both vectors have the same magnitude \( F \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Given Information**: - \( |F_1| = |F_2| = F \) - \( |F_1 \cdot F_2| = |F_1 \times F_2| \) 2. **Dot Product**: - The dot product of two vectors can be expressed as: \[ |F_1 \cdot F_2| = |F_1| |F_2| \cos \theta \] - Since \( |F_1| = |F_2| = F \), we can write: \[ |F_1 \cdot F_2| = F^2 \cos \theta \tag{1} \] 3. **Cross Product**: - The magnitude of the cross product is given by: \[ |F_1 \times F_2| = |F_1| |F_2| \sin \theta \] - Again, using \( |F_1| = |F_2| = F \): \[ |F_1 \times F_2| = F^2 \sin \theta \tag{2} \] 4. **Equating Dot and Cross Products**: - From the problem statement, we have: \[ |F_1 \cdot F_2| = |F_1 \times F_2| \] - Substituting equations (1) and (2) into this gives: \[ F^2 \cos \theta = F^2 \sin \theta \] - Dividing both sides by \( F^2 \) (assuming \( F \neq 0 \)): \[ \cos \theta = \sin \theta \] - This implies: \[ \tan \theta = 1 \implies \theta = 45^\circ \] 5. **Finding the Magnitude of \( F_1 + F_2 \)**: - The magnitude of the sum of two vectors is given by: \[ |F_1 + F_2| = \sqrt{|F_1|^2 + |F_2|^2 + 2 |F_1| |F_2| \cos \theta} \] - Substituting \( |F_1| = |F_2| = F \) and \( \theta = 45^\circ \): \[ |F_1 + F_2| = \sqrt{F^2 + F^2 + 2F^2 \cos 45^\circ} \] - Since \( \cos 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \): \[ |F_1 + F_2| = \sqrt{F^2 + F^2 + 2F^2 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}} \] - Simplifying further: \[ |F_1 + F_2| = \sqrt{2F^2 + \frac{2F^2}{\sqrt{2}}} \] - Factoring out \( F^2 \): \[ |F_1 + F_2| = F \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}} \] 6. **Final Result**: - Thus, the magnitude of \( |F_1 + F_2| \) is: \[ |F_1 + F_2| = F \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}} \]
