Three concurrent forces of the same magnitude are in equilibrium. What is the angle between the forces ? Also name the triangle formed by the forces as sides
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
In N forces of equal magnitude works on a single point and their resultant is zero then angle between any two forces is given \(\theta = \frac{360}{N} = \frac{360}{3} = 120^\circ\) If these three vectors are represented by three sides of triangle then they form equilateral triangle
