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
A
remaining unchanged
B
Less than 
C
Greater than 
D
in the direction of the largest force BC
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
: Given three forces are in equilibrium i.e. net force will be zero. It means the particle will move with same velocity.
