When forces F_1, F_2, F_3 are acting on a particle of mass m such that F_2 and F_3 are mutually perpendicular, then the particle remains stationary. If the force F_1 is now removed then the acceleration of the particle is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
For equilibrium of system, \(F_{1} = \sqrt{F_{2}^{2} + F_{3}^{2}}\) As \(\theta = 90^\circ\)
In the absence of force F_1 , Acceleration \(\frac{\text{Net force}}{\text{mass}}\)
\(= \frac{\sqrt{F_{2}^{2} + F_{3}^{2}}}{m} = \frac{F_{1}}{m}\)
