The forces are acting perpendicular to each other at a point and have resultant R. If force is replaced by acting in the direction opposite to that of , the magnitude of resultant
(1) Becomes half
(2) Becomes double
(3) Becomes one third
(4) Remains the same
A force of \(20\) N acts on a particle along a direction, making an angle of \(60^\circ\) with the vertical. The component of the force along the vertical direction will be:
1. | \(2\) N | 2. | \(5\) N |
3. | \(10\) N | 4. | \(20\) N |
If \(\overrightarrow {A}\) \(\overrightarrow{B}\) are two vectors inclined to each other at an angle \(\theta,\) then the component of \(\overrightarrow {A}\) perpendicular to \(\overrightarrow {B}\) and lying in the plane containing \(\overrightarrow {A}\) and \(\overrightarrow {B}\) will be:
1. \(\frac{\overrightarrow {A} \overrightarrow{.B}}{B^{2}} \overrightarrow{B}\)
2. \(\overrightarrow{A} - \frac{\overrightarrow{A} \overrightarrow{.B}}{B^{2}} \overrightarrow{B}\)
3. \(\overrightarrow{A} -\overrightarrow{B}\)
4. \(\overrightarrow{A} + \overrightarrow{B}\)
If \(\left|\overrightarrow A\right|\ne \left|\overrightarrow B\right|\) and \(\left|\overrightarrow A \times \overrightarrow B\right|= \left|\overrightarrow A\cdot \overrightarrow B\right|\), then:
1. | \(\overrightarrow A \perp \overrightarrow B\) |

3. | \(\overrightarrow A\) is antiparallel to \(\overrightarrow B\) |
4. | \(\overrightarrow A\) is inclined to \(\overrightarrow B\) at an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) |

(4) makes an angle of 120° with
Two forces of the same magnitude are acting on a body in the East and North directions, respectively. If the body remains in equilibrium, then the third force should be applied in the direction of:
1. North-East
2. North-West
3. South-West
4. South-East
