Question

two forces whose magnitude are in ratio of 3:5 gives a resultant of 35N.if the angle of inclination is 60degree.calculate the magnitude of each force.​

Answer 1

the magnitude of first force = 3 × 5= 15 N

ANd, the magnitude of second force = 5 × 5 = 25 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the magnitude of the each force is shown below:

Provided that

Ratio of forces = 3: 5

Let us assume the common factor is x

Now

first force = 3x

And, the second force = 5x

Resultant force = 35 N

The Angle between the forces = 60 degrees

Based on the above information

Resultant force i.e. F = √ F_1^2 +F_2^2 + 2 F_1F_2cos
`\theta`

35 = √[(3x)²+ (5x)²+ 2 (3x)(5x) cos 60°]

35 =√ 9x² + 25x² + 15x² (cos 60° = 0.5)

35 = √49 x²

x = 5

So, the magnitude of first force = 3 × 5= 15 N

ANd, the magnitude of second force = 5 × 5 = 25 N
