The vector sum of two forces is perpendicular to their vector differences. In that case, the forces

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:
B

`(vecA+vecB)/(vecA-vecB)=0`
`rArr A^2-vecA.vecB+vecB.vecA-vecB^2=0`
`rArr A=B (because vecA.vecB=vecB.vecA)`
