Question:

Forces 5 N, 12 N and 13 N are in equilibrium. If $ sin\text{ }23{}^\circ =\frac{5}{13}, $ the angle between 5 N force and 13 N force is

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

As $ {{5}^{2}}+{{12}^{2}}={{13}^{2}}, $ so these forces will be acting along the sides of a right angled triangle. Angle between 5 N and 13 N $=180-(90+23) $ $=180-113={{67}^{o}} $

Concepts Used:

Motion in a Plane

It is a vector quantity. A vector quantity is a quantity having both magnitude and direction. Speed is a scalar quantity and it is a quantity having a magnitude only. Motion in a plane is also known as motion in two dimensions. 

Equations of Plane Motion

The equations of motion in a straight line are:

v=u+at

s=ut+½ at2

v2-u2=2as

Where,

  • v = final velocity of the particle
  • u = initial velocity of the particle
  • s = displacement of the particle
  • a = acceleration of the particle
  • t = the time interval in which the particle is in consideration
