Q146 / 225 · JEE Main 2004 · Mathematics

In a right angle $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}, \angle \mathrm{A}=90^{\circ}$ and sides a, b, c are respectively, $5 \mathrm{~cm}, 4 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $3 \mathrm{~cm}$. If a force $\vec{F}$ has moments 0,9 and 16 in $N$ cm. units respectively about vertices $A, B$ and $C$, then magnitude of $\vec{F}$ is

  • A
    3
  • B
    4
  • Correct answer
    C
    5
  • D
    9

Solution

$\mathrm{F} \cdot 3 \sin \theta=9$ $\mathrm{~F} \cdot 4 \cos \theta=16$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{F}=5$ Figure

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
