Kinematics Question 10

Question: Forces $ F_1 $ and $ F_2 $ act on a point mass in two mutually perpendicular directions. The resultant force on the point mass will be [CPMT 1991]

Options:

A) $ F_1+F_2 $

B) $ F_1-F_2 $

C) $ \sqrt{F_1^{2}+F_2^{2}} $

D) $ F_1^{2}+F_2^{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ F=\sqrt{F_1^{2}+F_2^{2}+2F_1F_2\cos 90{}^\circ } $

$ =\sqrt{F_1^{2}+F_2^{2}} $
