Question

Can three vectors, which not in one plane, give a zero resultant?

Open in App
Solution

No, the sum of the three vectors will be zero only when they all lie in the same plane. This is because the resultant of any two vectors lies in their own plane and therefore it can't cancel the effect of a third vector, which does not lie in the plane of the other two vectors.
