A particle is acted upon by two forces F1 and F2 , given by
F1 = (i – 3j) N,
F2 = ( pi + 2pj) N, where p is a positive constant.
(a) Find the angle between F2 and j
how do we find the angle?

F1 = (i – 3j) N,
F2 = ( pi + 2pj) N, where p is a positive constant.
F1.F2=1*p+-3*2p=-5p
|F1|=sqrt(1^2+(-3)^2)=sqrt(10)
|F2|=sqrt(p^2+(2p)^2)=sqrt(5p^2)
cos theta=-5p/sqrt(10)sqrt(5p^2)=5over sqrt(50)=1/sqrt(2)
theta=cos^-1 1/sqrt()=45
