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

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...

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

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.

See, maximum resultant will be produced when angle between the two forces are 0o 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 180o, 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.

Dear student,
Please find the solution to your problem
 
Let the forces be F1 and F2, where F1 > F2
Now the maximum resultant is possible when both the forces act in the same direction, i.e. Fres = F1 + F2
Hence, F1 + F2 = 16
Now the minimum resultant force is possible when forces act in opposite direction, i.e. Fres = F1 – F2
Hence, F1 – F2 = 4
Solving the two equations, we get
F1 = 10 N
F2 = 6 N
 
Thanks and regards,
Kushagra
