Question

When a force F acts on a body of mass m, then the acceleration produced in the body is a. If three equal coplanar forces F1=F2=F3=F act on the same body as shown in the figure, the acceleration produced is:

Solution

The correct option is A (21)a
From the given figure,
The resultant of the forces F1 and F2 will be =2F.
Now,
Since F3 is 135o to F2 and resultant of F1andF2 is 45o to F1
i.e. both are in exactly opposite direction,
So total force acting on the body will be Ft=F3(resultant of F1andF2)
i.e. Ft=2FF=F(21)
So the acceleration on the body due to these three forces will be
af=Ft/m=(21)F/m=(21)ma/m=(21)a .
