Three forces F 1 = 10 N, F 2 = 8 N, F 3 = 6 N are acting on a particle of mass 5 kg. The forces F 2 and F 3 are applied perpendicularly so that particle remains at rest. If the force fi is removed, then the acceleration of the particle is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
When the force F 1 is removed, the particle starts accelerating because of the resultant force between F 2 and F 3 . The resultant force can be calculated as follows:
=10 N
Hence, the acceleration of the particle is given by
=2 m s -2
