Question

Three forces start acting simultaneously on a particle moving with velocity These forces are represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle ABC(as shown). The particle will now move with velocity
       

Options

A.less than
B.greater than
C.|v| in the direction of the largest force BC
D., remaining unchanged.

Solution

According to triangle law of vector addition if three vectors addition if three vectors are represented by three sides of a triangle taken in same order, then their resultant is zero. Therefore resultant of the forces acting on the particle is zero, so the particles velocity remains unchanged.
