the maximum and minimum magnitude of the resultant of two forces are 16 N and 4N.calculate t he magnitude of individual force.

Question

chukkaiwar rohit · Answer

max resultant of two forces x and yy is x+y and min of the two forces is x-y x+y=16 x-y=4 =>x=10N y=6N

Saurabh Anand · Answer

let the two vector be a and b then maxm resultant would be a+b=16 and minm resultant would be a-b=4...solve these two eqns and u will get the answer i.e. 10 and 6...

but for adding 2 vector ..formula is[ a2 + b2 +2abcos thetA]^1/2 OVER HERE WE DO NOT KNOW THETA

??but for adding 2 vector ..formula is[ a2 + b2 +2abcos thetA]^1/2 OVER HERE WE DO NOT KNOW THETA...

see in case of maxm resultant we take theta equals to 0degree i.e. cos(theta)=1

n in case of minm resultant we take theta = 180 degree i.e. cos(theta)=-1

SOURAV MISHRA · Answer

CLEARLY YOU HAVE TO SOLVE A SYSTEM OF SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS. THIS IS VERY EASY AND I WILL MENTION THE ANSWER DIRECTLY. THE GREATER ONE IS 10N AND THE SMALLER ONE IS 6N.

Suraj Tamang · Answer

See, maximum resultant will be produced when angle between the two forces are 0 o so cos 0 = 1 therefore, the resultant equation will give you (a + b) 2 i.e R = a + b and mimimum resultatn will be produced when the two forces are actining on the opposite direction ie angle between them is 180 o , so cos 180 = – cos 0 = -1 that gives you R = a – b then solve the simple simultanius equation a + b = 16 and a – b = 4.

Kushagra Madhukar · Answer

Dear student, Please find the solution to your problem Let the forces be F 1 and F 2 , where F 1 > F 2 Now the maximum resultant is possible when both the forces act in the same direction, i.e. F res = F 1 + F 2 Hence, F 1 + F 2 = 16 Now the minimum resultant force is possible when forces act in opposite direction, i.e. F res = F 1 – F 2 Hence, F 1 – F 2 = 4 Solving the two equations, we get F 1 = 10 N F 2 = 6 N Thanks and regards, Kushagra
