Following forces start acting on a particle at rest at the origin of the co-ordinate system simultaneously${\overrightarrow F _1} = - 4\hat i - 5\hat j + 5\hat k$, ${\overrightarrow F _2} = 5\hat i + 8\hat j + 6\hat k$, ${\overrightarrow F _3} = - 3\hat i + 4\hat j - 7\hat k$ and ${\overrightarrow F _4} = 2\hat i - 3\hat j - 2\hat k$ then the particle will move

A

In $x -y$ plane

B

In $y -z$ plane

C

In $x -z$ plane

D

Along $x -$ axis

Solution

(b) ${F_1} + {\vec F_2} + {\vec F_3} + {\vec F_4}$
= $( – 4\hat i + 5\hat i – 3\hat i + 2\hat i)$$ + ( – 5\hat j + 8\hat j + 4\hat j – 3\hat j)$

$ + (5\hat k + 6\hat k – 7\hat k – 2\hat k)$$ = 4\hat j + 2\hat k$

$\therefore$ the particle will move in $y -z$ plane.
