A body is moving under the action of two forces ${\vec F_1} = 2\hat i - 5\hat j\,;\,{\vec F_2} = 3\hat i - 4\hat j$. Its velocity will become uniform under an additional third force ${\vec F_3}$ given by

On an open ground, a motorist follows a track that turns to his left by an angle of $60^{°}$ after every $500\; m$. Starting from a given turn, specify the displacement of the motorist at the third, sixth and eighth turn. Compare the magnitude of the displacement with the total path length covered by the motorist in each case.
