Three forces in equilibrium: if two are equal and at 120°, third force is:
A. Zero
B. Difference of two
C. Sum of two
D. Equal to each, at 120° to both
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Vector equilibrium: three equal forces at 120° form closed triangle. Third force equals magnitude of others, oriented 120° from each. Memory aid: 'Equilibrium: vector sum = 0; symmetric forces ⇒ symmetric angles'. Statics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
Explanation:
Constant speed does not imply zero acceleration if direction changes, e.g., uniform circular motion has centripetal acceleration. Velocity may change direction. Displacement magnitude ≤ distance. So only option B is correct.
