Q.
Two forces whose magnitude are in the ratio 9:11 give a resultant of 38 N. If the angle of their inclination is 30∘ then what will be the magnitude of each force?
Let the two forces A and B A=9x,B=11xθ=30 ∴BA=119 R=A2+B2+2ABcosθ 38=(9x)2+(11x)2+2×9x×11x×21 38=81x2+121x2+99x2 38=301x2 38=17.3x⇒x=17.3438=2.19≈2.2
Thus =A=9×x=9×2.2=19.8N B=11x=11×2.2=24.2N
