Three forces P,Q and R are acting at a point in the plane, the angle between P and Q & Q and R are 150^∘, and 120^∘ respectively, then for equilibrium (i.e. net force = 0 ), forces P,Q and R are in the ratio A. 1 2 3 B. 1 2 √(3) C. 3 2 1 D. √(3) 2 1

Step 1
We have three forces P, Q, and R acting at a point in a plane. The angle between P and Q is 150°, and the angle between Q and R is 120°. The forces are in equilibrium, meaning the net force is zero. Show more…

The resultant of two forces at right angle is $5 \mathrm{~N}$. When the angle between them is $120^{\circ}$, the resultant is $\sqrt{13}$. Then, the forces are (a) $\sqrt{12} \mathrm{~N}, \sqrt{13} \mathrm{~N}$ (b) $\sqrt{20} \mathrm{~N}, \sqrt{5} \mathrm{~N}$ (c) $3 \mathrm{~N}, 4 \mathrm{~N}$ (d) $\sqrt{40} \mathrm{~N}, \sqrt{15} \mathrm{~N}$

Round 1
Two forces P and Q act at an angle of 120^° with each other. If the resultant is at right angles to P and P is equal to 4kg - wt, then the value of Q is A. 4 kgwt B. 8 kgwt C. 6 kgwt D. 3 kgwt

If forces $F_{1}, F_{2}, \ldots, F_{n}$ act at a point $P,$ the net (or resultant) force $\mathbf{F}$ is the $\operatorname{sum} \mathbf{F}_{1}+\mathbf{F}_{2}+\cdots+\mathbf{F}_{n} .$ If $\mathbf{F}=\mathbf{0},$ the forces are said to be in equilibrium. The given forces act at the origin $O$ of an $x y$ -plane. (a) Find the net force $\mathbf{F}$. (b) Find an additional force $G$ such that equilibrium occurs. $$\mathbf{F}_{1}=\langle 4,3\rangle, \quad \mathbf{F}_{2}=\langle- 2,-3\rangle, \quad \mathbf{F}_{3}=\langle 5,2\rangle$$
