Kinematics Question 586

Question: The resultant of vectors P and Q it’s R . On reversing the direction of Q , the resultant vector becomes S . Then, correct relation it’s

Options:

A)  R2+S2=(P2+Q2)

B) R2+S2=P2+Q2

C) R2+P2=S2+Q2

D) P2+S2=2(Q2+R2)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] We have R2=P2+Q2+2PQcosθ(i)

S2=P2+Q2PQcosθ(ii)

Adding equations (i) and (ii) , we get 

R2+S2=2(P2+Q2).
