Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\sqrt{5}\,A }{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{ F }=\left(\overrightarrow{ F }_1+\overrightarrow{ F }_2\right)\)

\(|\overrightarrow{ F }|=\sqrt{ F _1^2+ F _2^2+2 F _1 F _2 \cos 90^{\circ}}\)

\(=\sqrt{ A ^2+\frac{ A ^2}{4}}=\frac{ A \sqrt{5}}{2}\)
