Two forces act at an angle of 120°. The greater is represented by 80 kg weight and the resultant is at right angle to lesser. Find the latter

Question

Shailendra Kumar Sharma · Answer

given greater force is 80kg

And resultant makes 90degree with smaller one

So assume smaller along X direction

So the greater one will make 120 degree from X (or 30degree from Y) now net component along X should be zero.
So 80kg(sin (30)) = smaller Force
so smaller force be 40kg weight
