Establish the following vector inequalities geometrically or otherwise:
$(a)$ $\quad| a + b | \leq| a |+| b |$
$(b)$ $\quad| a + b | \geq| a |-| b |$
$(c)$ $\quad| a - b | \leq| a |+| b |$
$(d)$ $\quad| a - b | \geq| a |-| b |$
When does the equality sign above apply?
The maximum and minimum magnitude of the resultant of two given vectors are $17 $ units and $7$ unit respectively. If these two vectors are at right angles to each other, the magnitude of their resultant is
A particle is simultaneously acted by two forces equal to $4\, N$ and $3 \,N$. The net force on the particle is
Two forces, each of magnitude $F$ have a resultant of the same magnitude $F$. The angle between the two forces is....... $^o$
Given that $\overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B + \overrightarrow C= 0$ out of three vectors two are equal in magnitude and the magnitude of third vector is $\sqrt 2 $ times that of either of the two having equal magnitude. Then the angles between vectors are given by
