To find the angle \( \theta \) between two vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) for their resultant \( \vec{R} \) to be maximum and minimum, we can use the formula for the magnitude of the resultant of two vectors: \[ R = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB \cos \theta} \] ### Step 1: Maximum Resultant To find the angle for the maximum resultant, we need to maximize the term \( \cos \theta \). ...
