Correct answer: 90
-
Let the magnitudes of the vectors be with and given
-
Use the magnitude formula for the sum of two vectors. If the angle between and is , then Since , we get Therefore, So, 2P\cos\phi=-Q. \tag{1}
-
Now consider the new resultant But since we can write
-
We need the angle between and . Check their dot product: Using ,
-
From equation (1), Multiplying by , Hence,
-
Since the dot product is zero, is perpendicular to . Therefore, the angle made by the resultant of and with is
Thus, the required integer is:
