The magnitude of the resultant of the two vectors is always:

Axis we choose to calculate the magnitude

Greater than one of the vector s magnitude

Smaller than one of the vector s magnitude

Depends on the angle between them

Axis we choose to calculate the magnitude

What is after taking the assumption of the direction of the force, the direction comes opposite?

The direction will be already given to us, no need of assuming

The assumption made was wrong and the question can t be solved further

The assumptions are not to be taken

The direction is in the opposite sense, and hence the direction is known to us

The direction will be already given to us, no need of assuming

The magnitude of the unknown force can t be known. But the direction can be founded out.

The first part of the statement is false and other part is false too

The first part of the statement is false and other part is true

The first part of the statement is false and other part is false too

The first part of the statement is true and other part is false

The first part of the statement is true and other part is true too

Which of the following conditions are true to make the calculations easy?First condition: We use the method of a joint to find the forces acting over the joints in the space trusses.

First and second conditions are compulsory and can t be neglected

nSecond condition: In this, we start from the joint having at least one known force and at the most two unknown forces.

We only see the first condition and neglect the second condition

We neglect the first condition and only see the second condition

We neglect both the conditions because calculations are possible without following the first and second conditions

First and second conditions are compulsory and can t be neglected

The free body diagram of which part of the section of the truss is made to make use of method of joints?

The combination of joint and the whole structure
