(a) To find the size of the angle between the direction of
and the direction of
, we can use the dot product formula for vectors. The dot product of two vectors is given by:
The magnitude of
is 1, so the dot product simplifies to:
The magnitude of
is given by:
The cosine of the angle between
and
is given by:
Therefore, the size of the angle between the direction of
and the direction of
is:
(b) When the three forces
,
, and
act on P, the acceleration of P has magnitude
. We can use Newton's second law of motion to find the value of
.According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. Mathematically, this can be expressed as:
where
is the net force,
is the mass of the object, and
is the acceleration.In this case, the net force is the sum of the three forces
,
, and
:
Substituting the given values, we have:
Combining like terms, we get:
According to Newton's second law, we have:
where
and
.Substituting the given values, we have:
Simplifying the equation, we get:
Comparing the coefficients of
and
on both sides of the equation, we have:
Solving these equations, we find:
Therefore, the value of
is 11.
