How many minimum number of coplanar vectors having different magnitudes can be added to give zero resultant
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Let \vec{F}_1 and \vec{F}_2 are two vectors having resultant \vec{F}_3 i.e. \vec{F}_3 = \vec{F}_1 + \vec{F}_2 .
This means all the three forces \vec{F}_1, \vec{F}_2 and \vec{F}_3 lie in the same plane.
Therefore, if there be a vector acting exactly opposite of \vec{F}_3 with two other vectors \vec{F}_1 and \vec{F}_2 , the net force is zero but they must be coplanar
