AI Thread Summary
To find the angle between two forces of equal magnitude when their resultant is also equal to the magnitude of either force, one must analyze the vector addition of the forces. The problem suggests that the forces are equal and the resultant is the same as their individual magnitudes, indicating a specific geometric relationship. A graphical representation can aid in visualizing the forces and their resultant. The solution involves applying principles from vector mathematics, particularly the law of cosines. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving problems related to vectors and forces.

AnGle Between two forces...!?

Hi this is asn,
i got this problem here and its like " Find the angle between two forces of equal magnitudes when the magnitudes of their resultant is also equal to the magnitude of either of these forces?""

Can anyone please solve this question for me ... its from the vectors chapter ?
:frown: :frown: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :cry: :cry:

You might want to start by drawing yourself a large picture of the resultant of two vectors (and use smaller text) :-p .
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
