Why 360 is divide by 3?

Why 360/3?

Because two forces and one resultant.
Resultant between two forces.
Resultant between two forces.

According to the law of cosines, the formula is:
C^2 = A^2 + B^2 - 2*A*B*Cos θ (notice the negative sign)
The angle is equal to 60 not 120.
That can be easy realized by considering the equilateral triangle, this happens only when all its angles are equal to 60 degrees.

If the angle would be 120 than only at the mid xcos60+xcos60 = x.

Let F1 = 1 and F2 = 1.
We know, cos60 = 1/2.
When 2 forces are acting, both making 60 degrees with the horizontal, we add the angle. (60+60 = 120).
i.e, cos60+cos60 = 1 (which is equal to either of the forces).
We know, cos60 = 1/2.

i.e, cos60+cos60 = 1 (which is equal to either of the forces).

Let forces are which maggnitude P.
SO GIVEN IN Q. RESULTANT = P.
SO WE KNOW THAT RESULTANT.
R^2= A^2+B^2+2ABCOSθ THEN
P^2=P^2+P^2+2P*PCOSθ
P^2=P^2+P^2+2P^2COSθ
0=1+2COSθ
COSθ=-1/2=COS120.
SO θ=120.

P^2=P^2+P^2+2P*PCOSθ
P^2=P^2+P^2+2P^2COSθ
0=1+2COSθ
COSθ=-1/2=COS120.
SO θ=120.

cos(120) = cos(90+30) = -sin30 = -0.5.

Both the forces are equal thus the resultant is also equal.
Total angle is 360.
Three forces are acting equally thus 360/3=120.
Total angle is 360.
Three forces are acting equally thus 360/3=120.
