Question

$100$ coplanar forces each equal to $10$ N act on a body. Each force makes angle $\pi /50$ with the preceding force. What is the resultant of the forces.

• A. $1000$ N
• B. $500$ N
• C. $250$ N
• D. Zero

Answer 1

The correct option is D Zero

Total angle $=100\times \frac{\pi }{50}=2\pi$
So all the force will pass through one point and all forces will be balanced i.e. their resultant will be zero.
