Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{2} N , 45^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let addition force required is \(=\overrightarrow{ F }\)

\(\overrightarrow{ F }+5 \hat{ i }-6 \hat{ i }+7 \hat{ j }-8 \hat{ j }=0\)

\(\overrightarrow{ F }=\hat{ i }+\hat{ j },|\overrightarrow{ F }|=\sqrt{2}\)

Angle with X-axis: \(\tan \theta=\frac{ y \text { component }}{ x \text { component }}=\frac{1}{1}\)

\(\theta=45^{\circ}\)
