The following forces start acting on a particle at rest at the origin of the coordinate system simultaneously: ${\vec F_1} = -4\hat i - 5\hat j + 5\hat k$,${\vec F_2} = 5\hat i + 8\hat j + 6\hat k$,${\vec F_3} = -3\hat i + 4\hat j - 7\hat k$,and ${\vec F_4} = 2\hat i - 3\hat j - 2\hat k$. The particle will move:

  • A
    In $x-y$ plane
  • B
    In $y-z$ plane
  • C
    In $x-z$ plane
  • D
    Along $x$-axis

What are concurrent forces? Explain the equilibrium of a particle under the effect of concurrent forces.

$A$ body of mass $60\,kg$ is suspended by means of three strings $P, Q$ and $R$ as shown in the figure. The system is in equilibrium. The tension in the string $P$ is $..........\,N$. (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$)

$A$ 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:

When is a body said to be in mechanical equilibrium?

Three forces start acting simultaneously on a particle moving with velocity $\vec{v}.$ These forces are represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle $ABC$ (as shown). The particle will now move with velocity
