Question
The vector sum of two forces is perpendicular to their vector difference. The forces area. equal to each otherb. equal to each other in magnitudec. not equal to each other in magnituded. cannot be predicted
Step 1
According to the problem, the sum of these two forces is perpendicular to their difference. This can be written as: \[ (\vec{A} + \vec{B}) \cdot (\vec{A} - \vec{B}) = 0 \] where $\cdot$ denotes the dot product. Show more…
