If a number of forces are acting at a point, their resultant is given by
A. $${\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)^2} + {\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)^2}$$
B. $$\sqrt {{{\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)}^2} + {{\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)}^2}} $$
C. $${\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)^2} + {\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)^2} + 2\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)$$
D. $$\sqrt {{{\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)}^2} + {{\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)}^2} + 2\left( {\sum {\text{V}} } \right)\left( {\sum {\text{H}} } \right)} $$
A. $${\text{a}} = \frac{\alpha }{{\text{r}}}$$
B. $${\text{a}} = \alpha {\text{r}}$$
C. $${\text{a}} = \frac{{\text{r}}}{\alpha }$$
D. None of these
You are misleading by Copying the answer from Khurmi text book. Here correct answer is option A. Please correct it.
A is correct , plz make it correct
A is correct
A is correct.. As force acting at an angle R=w-psintetha
Then p= wsinthetha is the min. Force required
Ans A is correct
Answer is Wsinθ. Please correct.
A. W sinθ
P = Wsinfi/cos(θ-fi).
We know that, angle of inclinstion = angle of friction for rough horizontal plane. So that answer is Wsin(θ)
