JEE Main & Advanced Physics NLM, Friction, Circular Motion Question Bank Equilibrium of Forces

  • question_answer
    Which of the following sets of concurrent forces may be in equilibrium                                   [KCET 2003]

    A)             \[{{F}_{1}}=3N,\,\,{{F}_{2}}=5N,\,\,{{F}_{3}}=9N\]

    B)             \[{{F}_{1}}=3N,\,\,{{F}_{2}}=5N,\,\,{{F}_{3}}=1N\]

    C)             \[{{F}_{1}}=3N,\,{{F}_{2}}=5N,\,{{F}_{3}}=15N\]

    D)             \[{{F}_{1}}=3N,\,\,{{F}_{2}}=5N,\,\,{{F}_{3}}=6N\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Range of resultant of \[{{F}_{1}}\] and \[{{F}_{2}}\] varies between \[\left( 3+5 \right)\text{ }=\text{ }8N\]  and \[(5-3)=2N\]. It means for some value of angle \[(\theta )\], resultant 6 can be obtained. So, the resultant of 3N, 5N and 6N may be zero and the forces may be in equilibrium.
