Two forces each numerically equal to $10$ $dynes$ are acting as shown in the adjoining figure, then the magnitude of resultant is.........$dyne$

A

$10$

B

$20$

C

$10\sqrt 3$ 

D

$5$ 

Solution

Here, the angle $\theta$ between the two vectors is $120^{\circ}$

$\begin{aligned} \therefore \mathrm{R} &=\sqrt{(10)^{2}+(10)^{2}+2(10)(10)\left(\cos 120^{\circ}\right)} \\ &=\sqrt{100+100-100}=10 \text { dyne } \end{aligned}$
