Two individual forces of magnitude F1 and F2 act on a body of mass 1 kg as shown in the figures (i) and (i). If product of net magnitudes of forces produced in fig (i) and (ii) is 27 N then find the magnitude of forces F1 and F2. (assume F1 > F2)

Solution
The correct option is D 6 N, 3 N From figure 1, net force F' =F1−F2 From figure 2 net force F" =F1+F2 Given (F1−F2)(F1+F2)=27N F21−F22=27 Factors of F = 27 are 1, 2, 7, 3, 9 ⇒ If F1+F2=9N F1−F2=3N ∴F1=6N and F2=3N
