Two forces with equal magnitudes F act on a body and the magnitude of the resultant force is F3. The angle between the two forces is:
Given,
Both forces are of equal magnitude F
Resultant force is F3
FR=√F21+F22+2F1F2cosθ
F3=√F2+F2+2FFcosθ
F2√3=2F2(1+cosθ)
cosθ=(12√3−1)
θ=cos−1(12√3−1)
Hence, angle between vectors is cos−1(12√3−1)
