Solution
The correct option is BF1/m When forces F1, F2 and F3 are acting on the particle, it remains in equilibrium. Now, it is given that F2 and F3 are perpendicular to each other. So, we can infer that F1 has to balance the resultant of the other two forces.
F1=F2⊥F3
∴F1=√F22+F23
The force F1 is now removed. So, the resultant of F2 and F3 will now make the particle move with force equal to F1.
