Asked in Premeth — Coordination and Control, Vectors and EquilibriumModerate

If the resultant of two vectors each of magnitude A is the ,angle between the vectors will be:

Correct answer: D. 120°

  • A. 30°
  • B. 45°
  • C. 60°
  • D. 120°

Explanation

It is given that two vectors are equal in magnitude i.e. if A and B are two vectors then ∣A∣=∣B∣. It is also mentioned that the magnitude of resultant is equal to the magnitude of either of them i.e. ∣A∣=∣B∣=∣A+B∣...... Eq(1)

About Addition of Vectors

Vector addition combines directed quantities using the head-to-tail, parallelogram and component methods. Work includes finding the resultant magnitude and direction for two or more vectors, resolving vectors into perpendicular components, and distinguishing vector addition from scalar addition, where direction has no role.
