When two equal forces are inclined at an angle 2a their resultant is twice as great as

Mathematics

swat323 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step answer:

Referring to the attached diagram, the resultant of two forces each with magnitude F and inclined to each other at 2a equals

Ra = 2Fcos(a) ..............................(1)

Similarly, the resultant of two forces each with magnitude F and inclined to each other at 2b equals

Rb = 2Fcos(b)..............................(2)

We are given that

Ra = 2Rb  ....................................(3)

Substitute (1) & (2) in (3) gives

2Fcos(a) = 2(2Fcos(b))

Expand

2Fcos(a) = 4Fcos(b)

Simplify

cos(a) = 2 cos(b)   QED

Note: Please note that you might have a faster response if you posted this question in the physics or the (new) Engineering section.
