Because two forces and one resultant.

Resultant between two forces.

Why 360/3?

Gunasekaran said:   1 decade ago
Why 360 is divide by 3?

Krushna said:   1 decade ago
Total space angle is 360.
To forces having same magnitude.

And resultant also having same of both.
So 360/3 = 120.

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.
