    The vector sum of two forces is perpendicular to their vector differences. In that case, the force         [CBSE PMT 2003]

    A) Are equal to each other in magnitude

    B) Are not equal to each other in magnitude

    C) Cannot be predicted

    D)             Are equal to each other

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

        Let two vectors be \[\overrightarrow{A}\] and \[\overrightarrow{B}\] then \[(\overrightarrow{A}+\overrightarrow{B}).(\overrightarrow{A}-\overrightarrow{B})=0\]             \[\overrightarrow{A}\ .\ \overrightarrow{A}-\overrightarrow{B}\ .\ \overrightarrow{B}+\overrightarrow{B}\ .\ \overrightarrow{A}-\overrightarrow{B}\ .\ \overrightarrow{B}=0\]             \[{{A}^{2}}-{{B}^{2}}=0\]Þ\[{{A}^{2}}={{B}^{2}}\]\[\therefore \ \ A=B\]
