Two forces are such that the sum of their magnitudes is $18 \,N$ and their resultant is perpendicular to the smaller force and the magnitude of the resultant is $12 \,N$. Then the magnitudes of the forces are:

  • A
    $12 \,N, 6 \,N$
  • B
    $13 \,N, 5 \,N$
  • C
    $10 \,N, 8 \,N$
  • D
    $16 \,N, 2 \,N$

Two forces $P$ and $Q$,of magnitude $2F$ and $3F$,respectively,are at an angle $\theta$ with each other. If the force $Q$ is doubled,then their resultant also gets doubled. Then,the angle $\theta$ is ....... $^o$

Two equal forces ($P$ each) act at a point inclined to each other at an angle of $120^\circ$. The magnitude of their resultant is

Explain the subtraction of vectors.

Given that $A = B = C$. If $\vec A + \vec B = \vec C$,then the angle between $\vec A$ and $\vec C$ is $\theta_1$. If $\vec A + \vec B + \vec C = 0$,then the angle between $\vec A$ and $\vec C$ is $\theta_2$. What is the relation between $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$?

With respect to a rectangular cartesian coordinate system,three vectors are expressed as $\vec a = 4\hat i - \hat j$,$\vec b = -3\hat i + 2\hat j$,and $\vec c = -\hat k$,where $\hat i, \hat j, \hat k$ are unit vectors along the $X, Y,$ and $Z$-axis respectively. The unit vector $\hat r$ along the direction of the sum of these vectors is:
