The vector sum of two forces is perpendicular to their vector differences. In that case, the force

Let two vectors be $\overrightarrow A $ and $\overrightarrow B $ then

$(\overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B ).(\overrightarrow A - \overrightarrow B ) = 0$

$\overrightarrow A \;.\;\overrightarrow A - \overrightarrow B \;.\;\overrightarrow B + \overrightarrow B \;.\;\overrightarrow A - \overrightarrow B \;.\;\overrightarrow B = 0$

${A^2} - {B^2} = 0$ $⇒$ ${A^2} = {B^2}$

$\therefore \;\;A = B$
