Find the vector sum of N coplanar forces...

Find the vector sum of `N` coplanar forces, each of the magnitude `F`,when each force makes an angle of `2pi//N` with that preceding it.

A

Zero

B

`1000 N`

C

`500 N`

D

`250 N`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Total angle `= 100xx(pi)/(50)= 2 pi`
So all the forces will pass through one point and all forces will be balnced. i.e., their resultant will be zero.
