Find the resultant of the three vectors ...

Find the resultant of the three vectors `vec(OA), vec(OB)` and `vec(OC)` shown in figure. Radius of the circle is R.

A

2R

B

`R(1+sqrt2)`

C

`Rsqrt2`

D

`R(sqrt2-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`R_(net)=R+sqrt(R^(2)+R^(2))=R+sqrt(2)R=R(sqrt(2)+1)`
