The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the horizontal force \( F_1 \) and the force \( F_2 \) inclined at an angle of \( 60^\circ \) with the vertical such that the resultant force is a vertical force of \( P \) kg wt, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Forces Let: - \( F_1 \) be the horizontal force. - \( F_2 \) be the force inclined at \( 60^\circ \) with the vertical. ### Step 2: Resolve \( F_2 \) into Components Since \( F_2 \) is inclined at \( 60^\circ \) with the vertical, we can resolve it into horizontal and vertical components: - The vertical component of \( F_2 \) is \( F_2 \cos(60^\circ) \). - The horizontal component of \( F_2 \) is \( F_2 \sin(60^\circ) \). ### Step 3: Write the Equations for Resultant Forces The resultant force in the vertical direction must equal \( P \) kg wt. Therefore, we can write: \[ F_2 \cos(60^\circ) = P \] And since the horizontal forces must balance out (as there is no resultant horizontal force), we have: \[ F_1 = F_2 \sin(60^\circ) \] ### Step 4: Substitute the Values of Cosine and Sine Using the values: - \( \cos(60^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} \) - \( \sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) We can substitute these into our equations: 1. From the vertical force equation: \[ F_2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = P \implies F_2 = 2P \] 2. From the horizontal force equation: \[ F_1 = F_2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 2P \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \sqrt{3}P \] ### Step 5: Final Answers Thus, the horizontal force \( F_1 \) and the inclined force \( F_2 \) are: - \( F_1 = \sqrt{3}P \) - \( F_2 = 2P \) ### Summary of Results - Horizontal Force \( F_1 = \sqrt{3}P \) - Force Inclined \( F_2 = 2P \)
