Question:

ABC is an equilateral triangle with O as its centre. \(\vec{F_1}\), \(\vec{F_2}\) and \(\vec{F_3}\)represent three forces acting along the sides AB BC and AC respectively. If the total torque about O is zero then the magnitude of F3 is :

1098301

Options:

\(\frac{F_1 + F_2}{2}\)

2(F1 + F2)

F1 + F2

F1 - F2

Correct Answer:

F1 + F2

Explanation:

∑t = 0 ⇒ (F1 + F2) d = F3d ⇒ F3 = F1 + F2
