TUTORIAL

1.The resultant of the two forces, when they act at an angle of 300 is 50N. If the forces act at
600, the resultant is 70N. Determine the magnitude of two forces.

2. A block of mass of 10 kg is moving in a cart with an acceleration of 10 m/sec2 with

reference to a fixed frame in the cart. The cart itself is moving at an acceleration of 100
m/sec2 relative to fixed frame in the cart. Find out the net force on the block.

3. Two elephants of mass 10 ton each are standing such that distance between their center of
gravities is 10 m. Find out the force by which they pull each other. The value of gravitational
constant is .

4. Prove that if two forces P and Q act at a point and the angle between the two forces be ,
then the resultant is given by,

and the angle made by the resultant with the direction of force P is expressed as

5. A force is specified . Two planar forces are: and .

Add these forces and find out the angle which the resultant makes with the x-axis.
