100 coplanar forces each equal to 10N act on a body. Each force makes angle π/50 with the preceding force. What is the resultant of the forces (in newton)?

Solution

Given,100 coplanar forces each of 10N act on a body, and each force makes angle π/50 with the preceding force.
So, total angle=100×π50=2π
So, these forces make a closed polygon and each force acts opposite to each other.
All the forces will pass through one point and all forces will be balanced, i.e., their resultant will be zero.
