a system of forces is made of two forces of equal magnitude determined using the Triangle Law of Forces the angle between two process if magnitude of resultant force is equal to the magnitude of one of the forces

Raj 8th Oct, 2021

Hello student ,

Since both forces have equal magnitude F1 = F2 = F

Since its given that the resultant force is equal to magnitude of one of the two forces F(resultant)= F

Therefore

F(R) = sqrt of F1^2 + F2^2 + 2F1F2Cos(theeta)

Substituting values of F

F = sqrt of F^2 + F^2 + 2F^2Cos(theeta)

Squaring on both sides we get

F^2 = 2F^2[1+Cos(theeta)]

Canceling F^2 on both sides we get

1/2 -1 = Cos(theeta)

Therefore ,

Theeta = cos inverse of  -1/2

= 2Pi/3

find magnitude of two forces such that if they Act at right angle their resultant is 90N and when they Act at 60 degree their resultant is 117N

Hi Dipak, hope you are doing well,

Let the forces be F1 and F2
F1^2 + F2^2 = 90 N
(as the angle between them is 90° or right angle)
when angle is 60°
F1^2 + F2^2 + 2 * F1 * F2 *cos(60)=117 N
90 + F1 * F2=117

F1 * F2 = 27
(F1 + F2)^2 = F1^2 + F2^2 + 2 * F1 * F2 = 90+27×2=144
F1 + F2 = 12..............(i)
F1 - F2 = √( ( F1 + F2)^2 - 4F1 * F2) = √36 = 6.........(ii)
from eq.(i) and (ii) We get....
F1 = 9 N ,and F2 = 3 N

I hope this helps you.

i m a student of jnthuh i came to know that engineering mechanics is very tough and we cannot clear that subject in the whole of engineering and my internal marks are very very less how can i pass if my internal exams are very less?

Aniket Sharma 16th Apr, 2020

hi mohammed,

Firstly, don't be afraid of the exam. Ask some senior who are great in academics for advice. Don't as from seniors who themselves got barely passed in this subject.

Analyze previous year papers of engineering mechanics, see what is important and if something is similar in all the exams. You need practice in engineering mechanics, that means you can't leave this subject just for a day before exam. You will surely fail. You may be not good with mechanics from your 12th. Its okay you can learn now, go to the teacher's staff room if you have some problem. Go even if your friends is not going with you to the teacher for doubt clearing. You have given internals only as of now. External exam have a good amount of weightage, if you study hard you can pass easily after getting good marks in external. As of now, in quarantine try to read from books, youtube etc.


I hope this answer will help.
All the best for the future!!

I am studying btech 1st year civil I am not understanding these subjects engineering mechanics and engineering drawing please tell me what can I do

Ashish Pal Student Expert 21st Oct, 2019

Hello dear aspirant.

I know civil engineering is one of the toughest branch in engineering specially because of these subjects like mechanics , engineering drawing , strength of materials etc. If you are not understanding them properly then have patience and practice as much as you can take the help of you tube and reference books. These are the only best options.

Hope it helps.

Good luck
