There are three forces $\vec {F_1}$, $\vec {F_2}$ and $\vec {F_3}$ acting on a body, all acting on a point $P$ on the body. The body is found to move with uniform speed.
$(a)$ Show that the forces are coplanar.
$(b)$ Show that the torque acting on the body about any point due to these three forces is zero.
There are three forces $\vec {F_1}$, $\vec {F_2}$ and $\vec {F_3}$ acting on a body, all acting on a point $P$ on the body. The body is found to move with uniform speed.
$(a)$ Show that the forces are coplanar.
$(b)$ Show that the torque acting on the body about any point due to these three forces is zero.
As shown in figure, three forces $\mathrm{F}_{1}, \mathrm{~F}_{2}, \mathrm{~F}_{3}$ act at point $\mathrm{P}$ on body.
$(a)$ Figure shows that forces are in same plane that is forces are coplaner. Body moves with constant uniform speed (velocity).
$\therefore a =0$
$\mathrm{~F} =m a$
$=m(c)$
$=0$
$\therefore \overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{1} +\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{2}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{3}=0$
$(b)$ Calculating torque of these forces about point$ P$. As forces passes through$ P$ torque about point $\mathrm{P}$ is zero.

One end of a string of length $l$ is connected to a particle of mass $m$ and the other to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in a circle with speed $v$ the net force on the particle (directed towards the centre) is :
$(i) \;T,$ $(ii)\; T-\frac{m v^{2}}{l},$ $(iii)\;T+\frac{m v^{2}}{l},$ $(iv) \;0$
$T$ is the tension in the string. [Choose the correct alternative].

See Figure given below. A mass of $6 \;kg$ is suspended by a rope of length $2 \;m$ from the ceiling. A force of $50\; N$ in the horizontal direction is applied at the midpoint $P$ of the rope, as shown. What is the angle the rope makes with the vertical in equilibrium ? (Take $g = 10 \;m s^{-2}$). Neglect the mass of the rope.
