The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given vectors and the relationships between them step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Given Vectors We are given four vectors: \(\vec{P}\), \(\vec{Q}\), \(\vec{R}\), and \(\vec{S}\), all of equal magnitude. The relationships provided are: 1. \(\vec{P} + \vec{Q} - \vec{R} = 0\) 2. \(\vec{P} + \vec{Q} - \vec{S} = 0\) From these equations, we can rearrange them to express \(\vec{R}\) and \(\vec{S}\): - \(\vec{R} = \vec{P} + \vec{Q}\) - \(\vec{S} = \vec{P} + \vec{Q}\) ### Step 2: Analyzing the First Equation From the first equation, we can visualize the vectors \(\vec{P}\) and \(\vec{Q}\) as two sides of a triangle with \(\vec{R}\) as the third side. Since all vectors are of equal magnitude, we can represent them as sides of an equilateral triangle. ### Step 3: Finding the Angle \(\theta_1\) In an equilateral triangle, each angle is \(60^\circ\). However, since we are looking for the angle between \(\vec{P}\) and \(\vec{Q}\) when considering the vector addition, we note that: - The angle between \(\vec{P}\) and \(\vec{Q}\) is \(120^\circ\) (since the vectors point in opposite directions forming a triangle). Thus, we have: \[ \theta_1 = 120^\circ \] ### Step 4: Analyzing the Second Equation For the second equation, \(\vec{P} + \vec{Q} = \vec{S}\), we can again visualize this as a triangle. Since \(\vec{S}\) is also equal in magnitude to \(\vec{R}\), we can conclude that \(\vec{S}\) forms another triangle with \(\vec{P}\) and \(\vec{Q}\). ### Step 5: Finding the Angle \(\theta_2\) The angle between \(\vec{P}\) and \(\vec{S}\) is formed similarly to the previous case. Since \(\vec{S}\) is the resultant of \(\vec{P}\) and \(\vec{Q}\), the angle between \(\vec{P}\) and \(\vec{S}\) is: \[ \theta_2 = 60^\circ \] ### Step 6: Finding the Ratio of Angles Now that we have both angles: - \(\theta_1 = 120^\circ\) - \(\theta_2 = 60^\circ\) We can find the ratio \(\frac{\theta_1}{\theta_2}\): \[ \frac{\theta_1}{\theta_2} = \frac{120^\circ}{60^\circ} = 2 \] Thus, the ratio of \(\theta_1\) to \(\theta_2\) is: \[ \text{Ratio} = 2:1 \] ### Final Answer The ratio of \(\theta_1\) to \(\theta_2\) is \(2:1\). ---
