Three forces acting on a body are shown in the figure. To have the resultant force only along the y-direction, the magnitude of the minimum additional force needed is
Options
- A3 ~N
- B0.5 ~N
- C1.5 ~N
- D3 4 ~N
Correct answer
B. 0.5 ~N
Step-by-step solution
Net force along x -axis zero. Let the unknown force be F along x -axis aligned & F+1 30^ +2 30^ -4 30^ =0 & |F|=0.5 ~N aligned
