What is the angle needed for the smallest resultant of two vectors?
The smallest resultant of two vectors is the sum of two equal vectors which make an angle of 180 degrees among each other.
Two equal forces f and f make an angle of 180 with each other the magnitude of their resultant is?
Zero.
What is non-parallel forces?
Non-parallel forces are vector forces having an angle other than zero degrees or 180 degrees direction between them.
What is the minimum number of unequal vectors that give a zero resultant?
Three One is obviously out. Two is out because if two unequal forces n and p act on an object the resultant with the minimum force in magnitude is |n - p|, which will never be 0 if n =/= p. Three can be easily resolved with a quick example. Imagine an object with three concurrent forces acting on it. Two forces, n = 3 N and p = 4 N, create an angle with each other such that the resultant is 5 N. 180 degrees from the resultant, a force, r = 5 N, is acting on the object. Thus three unequal vectors on an object can result in 0.
What is a compound angle?
In mechanical design, a coumpound angle is the resultant of two individual angles that are perpendicular to each other.
