Correct answer: B
-
Given forces
The two force vectors are with
-
Magnitudes of the two forces
Since ,
Hence,
-
Resultant of two equal-magnitude vectors making angle
If two vectors of magnitude make angle , then resultant magnitude is
Here , so resultant magnitude becomes
-
For angle
Given resultant magnitude is
So,
Therefore,
-
For angle
Given resultant magnitude is
So,
Therefore,
-
Check Statement I
Statement I says this is possible only when
Since Statement I is true.
-
Check Statement II
Statement II says
This matches our result exactly, so Statement II is true.
-
Final choice
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
