Question

Three forces F1 F2 and F3 act on a body of mass M such that the body is in equilibrium and its acceleration is zero . If the forces F2 and F3 and mutually perpendicular and F1 is removed then what will be the acceleration of the body?

Answer 1

Hi..

Heres ur answer..


Hope this helps u!!

Answer 2

The particle remains stationary on the application of three forces that means the resultant force is 0.

This implies

F1 = - (F2 + F3)

Since, if the force F1 is removed, the forces acting are F2 and F3, the resultant of which has the magnitude of F1.

Therefore, the acceleration of the particle is F1/m
