oi wsp

ill help ya

let the forces be x and 8-x
considering the resultant to make 90 degree angle with x

then 12^2 + x^2 = (8-x)^2

now you can do the rest

[arctic harness]

hey x value is coming negative which is not possible as magnitude is always positive

[viscid quail]

is it so?

[arctic harness]

yeah I solved it

thats why I also posted it here. I solved using your equation also

maybe as angle between the two vectors is greater than 90 degree so, cos theta will be -ve

[viscid quail]

arey wah ask stormy or trin. both r geniuses

i sux @ vectors rn, im gonna start it too, atb mate

oi dont ping they will see

[arctic harness]

sry

xd lol

[rain ocean]

lol im getting 0

one value as 8 another as 0

[short arrow]

ig by magnitude, they meant just the value, don't consider the sign

without considering sign if answer satifsies the equations formed then ig tht should be it!

i m getting 13 and -5 which is satisfying

[floral granite]

The answer I got is 13, -5 [ lmk if u want the sol for it]

Usually in question when they ask magnitude of something it means that u just ignore the -ve sign/ give mod of the value u get
So mod 13 and mod -5 which is 13 and 5

[arctic harness]

Well our teacher completely ignored this fact and said that it was a trick ques and you have to arrange vector differently like in the photo

Which I don't think is right

[floral granite]

Shouldn’t the resultant point towards the tail of B?

[arctic harness]

that was my response also but I guess my teacher dosen't want to accept his mistake and is covering it under the blanket of trick question

I was comfirming If I was right here

[floral granite]

Oh not big fan of sirs like that, well acc to me it should point towards B def confirm it tho, did u get the 13, -5 ?

[arctic harness]

yes I got 13 and -5

and I wrote the magnitude as 13 and 5 as magnitude can't be -ve

[floral granite]

Yes when they ask magnitude it means it is just the number or as I said mod of the actual value

[arctic harness]

ok thanks
