    The resultant of two forces P and Q is of magnitude P. If P be doubled, the resultant will be inclined to Q at an angle

    A)  \[{{0}^{o}}\]

    B)  \[{{30}^{o}}\]

    C)  \[{{60}^{o}}\]

    D)  \[{{90}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Resultant of P and Q, \[R=\sqrt{{{p}^{2}}+{{Q}^{2}}+2\,PQ\cos \theta }\] Here,     R = p \[\therefore \] \[p=\sqrt{{{p}^{2}}+{{Q}^{2}}+2\,PQ\cos \theta }\]                 \[{{p}^{2}}={{p}^{2}}+{{Q}^{2}}+2\,PQ\cos \theta \]                 \[Q+2\,P\,\cos \theta =0\] \[(\because \,\,p\ne 0)\] Required angle                 \[\beta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left[ \frac{p}{Q+p\,\cos \theta } \right]\]                 \[={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2p}{Q+2p\cos \theta } \right)\] \[(\because \,p2p)\]                 \[={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2p}{0} \right)\] \[={{\tan }^{-1}}(\infty )={{90}^{o}}\]
