Three vectors \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OP}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{OQ}}\) and \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OR}}\) each of magnitude \(A\) are acting as shown in figure. The resultant of the three vectors is \(A \sqrt{x}\). The value of \(x\) is _______.

  1. A \(5\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{R}=\left(A+\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}\right) \hat{i}+\left(A-\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}\right) \hat{j}\) \(|\vec{R}|=\sqrt{\left(A+\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2+\left(A-\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2}=\sqrt{3} A\)
