JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 7th January Evening Slot - No. 2)

The sum of two forces $$\overrightarrow P $$ and $$\overrightarrow Q $$ is $$\overrightarrow R $$ such that $$\left| {\overrightarrow R } \right| = \left| {\overrightarrow P } \right|$$ . The angle $$\theta $$ (in degrees) that the resultant of 2$${\overrightarrow P }$$ and $${\overrightarrow Q }$$ will make with $${\overrightarrow Q }$$ is , ..............
Answer
90

Explanation

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 7th January Evening Slot Physics - Vector Algebra Question 33 English Explanation $$\overrightarrow P + \overrightarrow Q = \overrightarrow R $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ P2 + Q2 + 2PQcos$$\theta $$ = R2 = P2

[As $$\left| {\overrightarrow R } \right| = \left| {\overrightarrow P } \right|$$]

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 2Pcos$$\theta $$ + Q = 0

tan $$\alpha $$ = $${{2P\sin \theta } \over {Q + 2P\cos \theta }}$$ = $$\infty $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\alpha $$ = 90o
