    The magnitude of resultant of two equal forces is equal to either of two forces. The angle between forces is

    A)  \[\frac{\pi }{3}\]                                             

    B)  \[\frac{2\pi }{3}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]                                             

    D)  \[\frac{3\pi }{4}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    According to question \[R=A=B\] Since, \[{{R}^{2}}={{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}+2AB\text{ }cos\theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{A}^{2}}={{A}^{2}}+{{A}^{2}}+2{{A}^{2}}\cos \theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{A}^{2}}=2{{A}^{2}}(1+\cos \theta )\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[1=2(1+\cos \theta )\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos \theta =-\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos \theta =\cos 120{}^\circ \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\theta =120{}^\circ \]or \[\frac{2\pi }{3}\]
