Forces F(1) and F(2) act on a point mass...

Forces `F_(1) and F_(2)` act on a point mass in two mutually perpendicular directions. The resultant force on the point mass will be

A

`F_1+F_2`

B

`F_1-F_2`

C

`sqrt(F_1^2+F_2^2)`

D

`F_1^2+F_2^2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`F=sqrt(F_1^(2)+F_2^(2)+2F_1F_2cos90^@)=sqrt(F_1^(2)+F_2^(2))`
