    Ans: \(\theta=60^{o}\).

  5. The resultant of two equal forces acting at right angel to each other is \(14.14 N\). Find, the magnitude of either forces?

    Ans: \(F_{1}=F_{2}=10N\).

  6. Find, the magnitude of the resultant velocity if a body is simultaneously given two velocities, one \(30 ms^{-1}\) due east and othe \(40 ms^{-1}\) due north?

    Ans: \(50\frac{m}{Sec}\).

  7. Find the angle between two vectors \(\vec{P}\) and \(\vec{Q}\). If, the resultant of vectors is given by, \(R^{2}=P^{2}+Q^{2}\).

    Ans: \(\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}\).

  8. A ship is streaming due east at \(12 ms^{-1}\). A women runs across the deck at \(5 ms^{-1}\) in a direction at right angel to the direction of motion of the ship and then towards north. Calculate, velocity of women relative to the sea?

    Ans: \(v_{R}=13\frac{m}{s}\) and \(\alpha=22^{o}\).

  9. Two forces have a resultant equal to \(\frac{3}{2}\) times the either forces. At what angel do the forces are inclined to each other?

    Ans: \(\theta=82^{o}\).

  10. A particle has a displacement of \(12 m\) due east and \(5 m\) due north and then \(6 m\) vertically upwards. Find the magnitude of the sum of these displacement.

    Ans: \(14.32m\).

  11. A particle initially at A\(\left(2,4,6\right)\) \(m\) moves finally to the point B\(\left(3,2,-3\right)\) \(m\). write the (i) initial position vector (ii) final position vector and (iii) displacement vector of the particle.

    Ans: (i) \(\vec{r}_{i}=2\hat{i}+4\hat{j}+6\hat{k}\), (ii) \(\vec{r}_{f}=3\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-3\hat{k}\) and (iii) \(\vec{\Delta r}=-\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+9\hat{k}\).
