NEET2012PhysicsRotational MotionActual
A B C is an equilateral triangle with O as its centre. F ₁, ~F ₂ and F ₃ represent three forces acting along the sides A B, B C and A C respectively. If the total torque about O is zero then the magnitude of F ₃ is
Options
- AF₁+F₂
- BF₁-F₂
- CF₁+F₂ 2
- D2 (F₁+F₂ )
Correct answer
A. F₁+F₂
Step-by-step solution
If we take clockwise torque aligned & = _ F₁ + _ F₂ + _ F₃ 0 & =F₁ r+F₂ r+F₃ r F₃ & =F₁+F₂ aligned
