If the resultant of `n` forces of different magnitudes acting at a point is zero, then the minimum value of `n` is

Options

A. 4
B. 2
C. 3
D. 1

Answer

C

Explanation

The minimum value of n is 3. For finding the resultant, we must have minimum two forces. But two forces of different magnitudes cannot have a zero resultant. But if there are 3 forces, and if the third force is equal and opposite to the resultant of the first two forces, their resultant will be zero.
