∣B−A∣=∣A∣2+∣A∣2+2∣A∣∣A∣cos(180∘−Δθ)
=∣A∣2+∣A∣2−2∣A∣2cosΔθ
=2∣A∣2−2∣A∣2cosΔθ
=2∣A∣2(1−cosΔθ)
∵1−cosΔθ=2sin2(2Δθ)
=2∣A∣2×2sin2(2Δθ)
=2∣A∣sin(2Δθ)
For small Δθ,sin(2Δθ)≃(2Δθ)
∣B−A∣=2∣A∣(2Δθ)
=∣A∣Δθ
A vector A is rotated by a small angle Δθ radians (Δθ≪1) to get a new vector B . In that case ∣B−A∣ is :

Net gravitational force at the center of a square is found to be $F_{1}$ when four particles having mass $M, 2 M, 3 M$ and $4 M$ are placed at the four corners of the square as shown in figure and it is $F_{2}$ when the positions of $3 M$ and $4 M$ are interchanged. The ratio $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$ is $\frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{5}}$. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$. 
A particle of mass 2 kg is projected vertically upward with a speed of 30 m/s. The maximum height reached by the particle is (g = 10 m/s²):
Two projectiles are projected with the same initial velocities at the $15^\circ$ and $30^\circ$ with respect to the horizontal. The ratio of their ranges is $1:x$. The value of $x$ is:
In an experiment the values of two spring constants were measured as $k_{1}=(10 \pm 0.2) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$ and $k_{2}=(20 \pm 0.3) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$. If these springs are connected in parallel, then the percentage error in equivalent spring constant is :
The surface tension of a soap solution is $3.5 \times 10^{-2}$ N/m. The work required to increase the radius of a soap bubble from $1$ cm to $2$ cm is $\alpha \times 10^{-6}$ J. The value of $\alpha$ is _____. ($\pi = 22/7$)
