    The square of resultant of two equal forces is three times their product. Angle between the forces is

    A)  \[\pi \]                                

    B)  \[\pi /2\]

    C)  \[\pi /4\]                            

    D)  \[\pi /3\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Let \[{{Q}^{-1}}\]be the angle between vector P and Q whose resultant is R. Here, P = Q and \[{{R}^{2}}=3PQ=3{{P}^{2}}\] \[{{R}^{2}}={{P}^{2}}+{{Q}^{2}}=\Sigma \,PQ\cos \theta \] \[3{{P}^{2}}={{P}^{2}}+{{P}^{2}}+2{{P}^{2}}\cos \theta \] \[3{{P}^{2}}-{{P}^{2}}=2{{P}^{2}}\cos \theta \] \[{{P}^{2}}=2{{P}^{2}}\cos \theta \] \[1=2\,\cos \theta \] \[Q=60{}^\circ =\frac{\pi }{3}\]
