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 ....... \(^o\)

  1. A \(120\)
  2. B \(60\)
  3. C \(90\)
  4. D \(30\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(120\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{l} 2\left| {\vec P + \vec Q} \right| = \left| {\vec P + 2\vec Q} \right|\\ \Rightarrow \,13 + 12\,\cos \,\theta = 10 + 6\,\cos \theta \\ \cos = - \frac{1}{2}\\ \theta = {120^ \circ } \end{array}\)
