Which of the following sets of concurrent forces may be in equilibrium?

  1. A \(F_1=3 \mathrm{~N}, F_2=5 \mathrm{~N}, F_3=10 \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(F_1=3 \mathrm{~N}, F_2=5 \mathrm{~N}, F_3=9 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(F_1=3 \mathrm{~N}, F_2=5 \mathrm{~N}, F_3=6 \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(F_1=3 \mathrm{~N}, F_2=5 \mathrm{~N}, F_3=15 \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(F_1=3 \mathrm{~N}, F_2=5 \mathrm{~N}, F_3=6 \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to triangle law of forces, resultant of two forces must be greater than or equal to the third force. In option (a), \(F_1(3 \mathrm{~N})+F_3(1 \mathrm{~N}) F_3(6 \mathrm{~N})\) Hence, these sets of concurrent forces may be in equilibrium. In option (d),…
