3-1.Vectors
hard

Given that $\overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B + \overrightarrow C= 0$ out of three vectors two are equal in magnitude and the magnitude of third vector is $\sqrt 2 $ times that of either of the two having equal magnitude. Then the angles between vectors are given by

A

$30°, 60°, 90°$

B

$45°, 45°, 90°$

C

$45°, 60°, 90°$

D

$90°, 135°, 135°$

Solution

(d) From polygon law, three vectors having summation zero should form a closed polygon. (Triangle) since the two vectors are having same magnitude and the third vector is $\sqrt 2 $ times that of either of two having equal magnitude. i.e. the triangle should be right angled triangle

Angle between $A$ and $B$, $\alpha$ $= 90°$

Angle between $B$ and $C$, $\beta$ $= 135°$

Angle between $A$ and $C$, $\gamma$ $= 135°$
