Vectors

P&Q are 2 forces such that their resultant is R .
IF Q is doubled R IS also doubled
if Q is reversed then again R is doubled
then p.t.

Let a be the angle between the forces P and Q. Now from the given conditions, we have

R2 + P2 + Q2 + 2PQ cos α …(1)

and (2R)2 + P2 + (2Q)2 + 2P(2Q)cos α

4R2 = P2 + 4Q2 + 4PQ cosα …(2)

and (2R)2 = P2 + (–Q)2 + 2P (–Q) cosα

=> 4R2 = P2+Q2 - 2PQ cosα …(3)

Adding (1) and (3), we get 2P2 + 2Q2 – 5R2 = 0 …(4)

Eliminating a from (2) and (3), we get

P2 + 2Q2 – 4R2 = 0 …(5)

From (4) and (5), we have

P2/–8+10 = Q2/–5+8 = R2/4–2 => P2/2 = Q2/3 = R2/2 => P:Q:R::√2: √3: √2.
