Following sets of three forces act on a body. Whose resultant cannot be zero
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
For three forces to have zero resultant, their magnitudes must satisfy triangle inequality:
Sum of any two forces >= third force.
Check options:
10 + 10 > 10 V possible
10 + 10 = 20 V possible (collinear)
10 + 20 > 23 V possible
\(10 + 20 < 40 \times\) impossible
