6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion

$A$ 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.
