MCQ
Three forces are acting simultaneously at one point. Two forces $\overrightarrow{ P }, \overrightarrow{ Q }$ are $(2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j})$ and $(\hat{i}-\hat{j})$ respectively. If the object is in equilibrium then which will be the third:
  • A
    $i-2 j$
  • $-3 i+4 j$
  • C
    $2 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}$
  • D
    $3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-3 i+4 j$
(B)Forequilibrium
$
\begin{aligned}
\overrightarrow{P}+\overrightarrow{Q}+\overrightarrow{R} & =0 \\
\overrightarrow{R} & =-(\overrightarrow{P}+\overrightarrow{Q}) \\
& =-(2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+\hat{i}-\hat{j}) \\
& =-(3 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}) \\
& =-3 i+4 j
\end{aligned}
$
Hence, the correct option is (B).
