The vector sum of two forces is perpendiuclar to their vector difference. In that case, the force:

A

Are equal to each other.

B

Are equal to each other in magnitude.

C

Are not equal to each other in magnitude.

D

Cannot be predicted.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2

`(vecA + vecB) *(vecA-vecB) =0`
`rArr A^(2) - vecA*vecB+ vecB*vecA- B^(2) =0`
`rArr A= B (because vec A *vecb= vecB*vecA)`
