A particle moving with velocity is acted by three forces shown by the vector triangle . The velocity of the particle will:
image

  1. A
    increase
  2. B
    decrease
  3. C
    remain constant
  4. D
    change according to the smallest force

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The vector triangle shows three forces acting in a closed loop (cyclic order).In vector addition, if vectors form a closed polygon, their resultant is zero.

According to Newton's First Law, if the net force is zero, there is no acceleration.Therefore, the velocity of the particle remains constant.
