Question 21 of 183

Two persons AA and BB perform same amount of work in moving a body through a certain distance dd with application of forces acting at angles 45∘45^{\circ} and 60∘60^{\circ} with the direction of displacement respectively. The ratio of force applied by person AA to the force applied by person BB is 1x.\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}. The value of xx is _________.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 2

Given, W1=W2{W}_{1}={W}_{2} and, we know that work done is a scalar quantity it means, F1Scos⁡45∘=F2Scos⁡60∘{F}_{1}S\cos 45^{\circ}={F}_{2}S\cos 60^{\circ}⇒F1F2=12=1x\Rightarrow \dfrac{{F}_{1}}{{F}_{2}}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}⇒x=2\Rightarrow x=2.
