B

`1/m|vec(R)_(1)+vec(R)_(2)|`

C

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the forces acting on the particle and apply Newton's laws of motion. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the initial conditions The particle of mass \( m \) is initially in equilibrium, meaning the net force acting on it is zero. This implies that the sum of all forces acting on the particle is balanced. ### Step 2: Identify the forces acting on the particle We have three forces acting on the particle: - \( \vec{R}_1 \) - \( \vec{R}_2 \) - \( \vec{R}_3 \) Given that \( \vec{R}_1 \) and \( \vec{R}_2 \) are perpendicular to each other, we can represent them as vectors in a coordinate system. ### Step 3: Apply the equilibrium condition Since the particle is in equilibrium, we have: \[ \vec{R}_1 + \vec{R}_2 + \vec{R}_3 = 0 \] This means: \[ \vec{R}_3 = -(\vec{R}_1 + \vec{R}_2) \] ### Step 4: Remove the third force Now, if the third force \( \vec{R}_3 \) is suddenly removed, the new net force acting on the particle becomes: \[ \vec{F}_{net} = \vec{R}_1 + \vec{R}_2 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the magnitude of the net force Since \( \vec{R}_1 \) and \( \vec{R}_2 \) are perpendicular, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the net force: \[ |\vec{F}_{net}| = \sqrt{|\vec{R}_1|^2 + |\vec{R}_2|^2} \] ### Step 6: Apply Newton's second law According to Newton's second law: \[ \vec{F}_{net} = m \vec{a} \] where \( \vec{a} \) is the acceleration of the particle. Therefore, we can express the acceleration as: \[ \vec{a} = \frac{\vec{F}_{net}}{m} \] ### Step 7: Substitute the net force into the equation Substituting the expression for the net force, we get: \[ \vec{a} = \frac{\sqrt{|\vec{R}_1|^2 + |\vec{R}_2|^2}}{m} \] ### Step 8: Determine the magnitude of acceleration The magnitude of the acceleration is then given by: \[ |\vec{a}| = \frac{|\vec{R}_1| + |\vec{R}_2|}{m} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the magnitude of acceleration of the particle after the removal of the third force is: \[ |\vec{a}| = \frac{|\vec{R}_1| + |\vec{R}_2|}{m} \] ### Final Answer The correct option is: \[ \frac{1}{m} \times |\vec{R}_1 + \vec{R}_2| \] ---
