MCQ
Which of the following sets of concurrent forces may be in equilibrium
  • A
    $F_1=3 N, F_2=5 N, F_3=9 N$
  • B
    $F_1=3 N, F_2=5 N, F_3=1 N$
  • C
    $F_1=3 N, F_2=5 N, F_3=15 N$
  • $F_1=3 N, F_2=5 N, F_3=6 N$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$F_1=3 N, F_2=5 N, F_3=6 N$
(d) Range of resultant of $F_1$ and $F_2$ varies between $(3+5)=8\mathrm{~N$and((5-3)=2 N$. lt means for some value of angle $(\theta)$, resultant 6 canbeobtained.So,theresultant of $3 N, 5 N$ and $6 N$ may be zero and the forces may be in equilibrium.
