Three concurrent co-planar forces and 3 N acting along different directions on a body
Options
- Acan keep the body in equilibrium if 2 N and 3 N act at right angle
- Bcan keep the body in equilibrium if 1 N and 2 N act at right angle
- Ccannot keep the body in equilibrium
- Dcan keep the body in equilibrium in 1 N and 3 N act at an acute angle
Correct answer
C. cannot keep the body in equilibrium
Step-by-step solution
If we keep 1 N and 2 N forces act in same direction then these are balanced by 3 N force, but this is against statement of question.
Hence, options (3) is correct.
