Question

The minimum number of forces of equal magnitude in a plane that can keep a particle in equilibrium is

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Explanation:

Consider a particle having just one line of force acting on it. This force results in acceleration of the particle disturbing its equilibrium.

Consider a particle having two lines of forces acting on it. The forces are in opposite direction but of equal magnitude. They cancel each other resulting in equilibrium.

Answer 2

TWO IF BOTH ARE EQUAL..
