6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
hard
$A$ body is in equilibrium under the influence of a number of forces. Each force has a different line of action. The minimum number of forces required is
A
$4$, if their lines of action are parallel and all the forces have the same magnitude.
B
$3$, if their lines of action are not parallel.
C
$3$, if their lines of action are parallel.
D
All of the above
Solution
If $3$ lines of action are not parallel, the body is in equilibrium. One line of action must. be the result of other two lines of action. similarly if $3$ lines of action are parallel.
If $4$ lines of action are parallel and all the forces have the same magnitude, the body is in equilibrium. The resultant must be zero.
