Two vectors have magnitudes 3 unit and 4 unit respectively. What should be the angle betweenthem if the magnitude of the resultant is (a) 1 unit, (b) 5 unit and (c) 7 unit.​

Answer»

Solution:-

:  \implies   \sf \: magnitude \: of \:  \vec{a} \:  |a|  = 3unit \:

:  \implies   \sf \: magnitude \: of \:  \vec{<klux>B</klux>} \:  |b|  = 4unit \:

\sf \: \to formula

\boxed{\sf \: R =  \sqrt{ {A }^{2}  +  {B}^{2} + 2A B \cos \theta  } }

Case :- 1 R = 1 unit

A = 3 unit and B = 4 unit

Using this

\sf \: R =  \sqrt{ {A }^{2}  +  {B}^{2} + 2A B \cos \theta  }

\sf \: 1 =  \sqrt{ {3}^{2}  +  {4}^{2} + 2 \times 3  \times 4 \cos \theta  }

\sf \: 1 =  {9}^{}  +  {16}^{} + 24 \cos \theta

\sf \: 1 =  {25}^{}    {}^{} + 24 \cos \theta

\sf \: 1  - 25=  {}^{}    {}^{}  24 \cos \theta

\sf \:  - 24=  {}^{}    {}^{}  24 \cos \theta

\sf \cos \theta  =  - 1

\theta \:  =  180 \degree

Case :- 2 R = 5 unit

Case :- 2 R = 5 unit A = 3 unit and B = 4 unit

Case :- 2 R = 5 unit A = 3 unit and B = 4 unit Using this

\sf \: R =  \sqrt{ {A }^{2}  +  {B}^{2} + 2A B \cos \theta  }

\sf \: 5 =  \sqrt{ {3}^{2}  +  {4}^{2} + 2 \times 3  \times 4 \cos \theta  }

\sf \: 25=  {9}^{}  +  {16}^{} + 24 \cos \theta

\sf\: 25 = 25 + 24 \cos \theta

\sf0 = 24 \cos \theta

\cos \theta = 0

\rm \:  \theta =  90  \degree

Case :- 3 R = 7 unit

unit A = 3 unit and B = 4 unit

unit A = 3 unit and B = 4 unit Using this

\sf \: R =  \sqrt{ {A }^{2}  +  {B}^{2} + 2A B \cos \theta  }

\sf \: 7 =  \sqrt{ {3}^{2}  +  {4}^{2} + 2 \times 3  \times 4 \cos \theta  }

\sf \: 49=  {9}^{}  +  {16}^{} + 24 \cos \theta

\sf \: 49 = 25 + 24 \cos \theta

\sf \: 24 = 24 \cos \theta

\cos\theta = 1

\theta = 0 \degree
