Statement : I If three forces vector F1, F2 and F3 are represented by three sides of a triangle and vector F1 + F2 = -F3,

Question

Statement : I

If three forces \(\vec{F_1},\vec{F_2}\) and \(\vec{F_3}\) are represented by three sides of a triangle and \(\vec{F_1}+\vec{F_2}=-\vec{F_3},\) then these three forces are concurrent forces and satisfy the condition for equilibrium.

Statement : II

A triangle made up of three forces \(\vec{F_1},\vec{F_2}\) and \(\vec{F_3}\) as its sides taken in the same order, satisfy the condition for translatory equilibrium.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

(1) Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true

(2) Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false

(3) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false

(4) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.

Answer 1

Correct answer is 4.

Both statements correct.
