The discussion revolves around a problem involving two forces, 6 N and 2 N, and the task of identifying a force that cannot be produced by these two. The context suggests a focus on vector addition and the geometric interpretation of forces.
The discussion is active, with participants sharing insights about the geometric representation of forces. Some have attempted to apply the cosine rule, indicating a progression in understanding the problem. There is a recognition of the need to critically evaluate the possible answers.
The problem is framed as a multiple-choice question, which introduces constraints on the possible answers. Participants note that some options can be produced, while others cannot, prompting further exploration of the underlying principles.
Try drawing some triangles.You will see that only one of those vectors can be produced by adding the given vectors.sharkey1314 said:there's a choice between 2N and 6N. Sorry. It's a multiple choice question. The other 2 answers are 8N and 4N which is quite obviously can be produced.
sharkey1314 said:It will be an isosceles triangle right ?
sharkey1314 said:Okay i found out the answers by using cosine rule. Are there some insights on this matter ? lol..
