Solution
→VR=−VRcos30∘^j−VRsin30∘^i
→VR=−VR2^i−VR√32^j
→VM=25^i
→VRM=−V′Rcos60∘^j−V′Rsin60∘^i
→VRM=−V′R√32^i−V′R2^j
→VR=(25−V′R√32)^i−V′R2^j
On comparing V′R=√3VR
25−V′R√32=−VR2
VR=25 m/s
→VR=−VRcos30∘^j−VRsin30∘^i→VR=−VR2^i−VR√32^j
→VM=25^i
→VRM=−V′Rcos60∘^j−V′Rsin60∘^i
→VRM=−V′R√32^i−V′R2^j
→VR=(25−V′R√32)^i−V′R2^j
On comparing V′R=√3VR
25−V′R√32=−VR2
