Plz tell que 10 and 11 ??

Dear Student,

Suppose the two forces act at an angle θ, thenP2+Q2=(P+Q)2+(P-Q)2+2(P+Q)(P-Q) cosθ[Using resultant (R) of two vectors A and B, R=A2+B2+2ABcosθ]On squaring,P2+Q2=(P+Q)2+(P-Q)2+2(P+Q)(P-Q) cosθ=2P2+2Q2+2(P2-Q2)cosθ=-2 (P2-Q2)cosθcosθ=-12(P2-Q2P2-Q2)=12(P2+Q2Q2-P2)or θ=cos-1[12(P2+Q2Q2-P2)]Thus, the two forces act at an angle cos-1[12(P2+Q2Q2-P2)].
Hence, the correct option is 4.

Kindly post the different question in different thread.

Regards
