Two forces with equal magnitudes $F$ act on a body and the magnitude of the resultant force is $F/3$. The angle between the two forces is

  • A
    $\cos^{-1}\left(-\frac{17}{18}\right)$
  • B
    $\cos^{-1}\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)$
  • C
    $\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$
  • D
    $\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{9}\right)$
