$A$ body is in equilibrium under the action of three coplanar forces $P, Q$ and $R$ as shown in the figure. Select the correct statement.

  • A
    $\frac{P}{\sin \alpha} = \frac{Q}{\sin \beta} = \frac{R}{\sin \gamma}$
  • B
    $\frac{P}{\cos \alpha} = \frac{Q}{\cos \beta} = \frac{R}{\cos \gamma}$
  • C
    $\frac{P}{\tan \alpha} = \frac{Q}{\tan \beta} = \frac{R}{\tan \gamma}$
  • D
    $\frac{P}{\sin \beta} = \frac{Q}{\sin \gamma} = \frac{R}{\sin \alpha}$

$A$ particle is situated at the origin of a coordinate system. The following forces begin to act on the particle simultaneously (assuming the particle is initially at rest):
$\vec{F}_1 = 5\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}$
$\vec{F}_2 = 2\hat{i} + 8\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}$
$\vec{F}_3 = -6\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - 7\hat{k}$
$\vec{F}_4 = -\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} - 2\hat{k}$
Then the particle will move:
