Q.

Three forces F1=10 N, F2=8 N, F3=6 N are acting on a particle of mass 5 kg. The forces F2 and F3 are applied perpendicular so that the particle remains at rest. If the force F1 is removed, then the acceleration of the particle is                  [2023]
 

1 2 m s-2  
2 0.5 m s-2  
3 4.8 m s-2  
4 7 m s-2  

Ans.

(1)

Resultant of F2 and F3 should be opposite to F1

        a=105=2 m/s2
