For shown situation, what will be the magnitude of minimum force in newton that can be applied in any direction so that the resultant force is along east direction?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The angle `theta` between the two vector is `120^(@)` and not `60^(@)`.
`:. R=sqrt((10)^(2)+(10)^(2)+2(10)(10)(cos 120^(@)))`
`=sqrt(100+100-100)=10` dyne

At what angle should the two forces vectors 2F and sqrt(2) F act so that the resultant force is sqrt(10)F

Assertion: In projectile motion, the acceleration is constant in both magnitude and direction but the velocity changes in both magnitude and direction. Reason: When a force or accelration is acting in an oblique direction to the direction of velocity then both magnitude and direction of the velocity may be changed.

A block of mass 4 kg is placed on another block of mass 5 kg and the block B rests on a smooth horizontal table. If the maximum force that can be applied on A so that both the blocks move together is 12N, find the maximum force that can be applied on B for the blocks to move together.

A block is applied two forces of magnitude 5N each. One force is acting towards East and the other acting along 60^(@) North of East. The resultant of the two forces (in N) is of magnitude :-
