Two forces F1 and F2 are acting on a body. One force has magnitude thrice that of the other force and the resultant of the two forces is equal to the force of larger magnitude. The angle between F1 and F2 is -1 ( 1n ). The value of |n| is .
Answer
6
Solution
R2=F12+F22+2F1F2 , with F1=F, F2=3F, R=3F
9F2=F2+9F2+6F2
=- 16
n=-6, |n|=6
Answer: 6
