Q3
The resultant of forces P and Q is R. If Q is doubled, then R is doubled. If the direction of Q is reversed,then R is again doubled. Then P2:Q2:R2=

Assertion: Two forces 7N and 5N are acting at a point and their resultant can be 3N.
Reason: If two vectors P and Q are acting at a point their resultant can have a value between PQ to P+Q.
