Sum of magnitude of two forces is \(25 \mathrm{~N}\). The resultant of these forces is normal to the smaller force and has a magnitude of \(10 \mathrm{~N}\). Then the two forces are

  1. A \(14.5 \mathrm{~N}, 10.5 \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(16 \mathrm{~N}, 9 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(13 \mathrm{~N}, 12 \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(20 \mathrm{~N}, 5 \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(14.5 \mathrm{~N}, 10.5 \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Sum of two forces \(F_1+F_2=25\) Resultant of these forces \((10)^2=F_1^2+F_2^2+2 F_1 F_2 \cos \theta\) Since, resultant is normal to the smaller force \(\therefore \quad F_1+F_2 \cos \theta=0\) From Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get…
