A particle is situated at the origin of a coordinate system. The following forces begin to act on the particle simultaneously (Assuming particle is initially at rest)

${\vec F_1} = 5\hat i - 5\hat j + 5\hat k$            ${\vec F_2} = 2\hat i + 8\hat j + 6\hat k$

${\vec F_3} =  - 6\hat i + 4\hat j - 7\hat k$         ${\vec F_4} =  - \hat i - 3\hat j - 2\hat k$

Then the particle will move
