The correct Answer is:
To determine which set of vectors can have a resultant equal to zero, we need to analyze the options provided based on the triangle inequality theorem. The triangle inequality states that for any three sides to form a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Options**: We have four options of vectors: - Option 1: 10N, 10N, 10N - Option 2: 10N, 10N, 25N - Option 3: 10N, 10N, 35N - Option 4: None of these 2. **Apply the Triangle Inequality**: - For three vectors to have a resultant of zero, they must be able to form a closed triangle. We will check each option to see if they satisfy the triangle inequality. 3. **Check Option 1 (10N, 10N, 10N)**: - Check: 10 + 10 > 10 (True) - Check: 10 + 10 > 10 (True) - Check: 10 + 10 > 10 (True) - Since all conditions are satisfied, these vectors can form a triangle, and thus, the resultant can be zero. 4. **Check Option 2 (10N, 10N, 25N)**: - Check: 10 + 10 > 25 (False) - Since this condition is not satisfied, these vectors cannot form a triangle, and thus, the resultant cannot be zero. 5. **Check Option 3 (10N, 10N, 35N)**: - Check: 10 + 10 > 35 (False) - Since this condition is not satisfied, these vectors cannot form a triangle, and thus, the resultant cannot be zero. 6. **Check Option 4 (None of these)**: - Since we found that Option 1 can have a resultant of zero, this option is incorrect. 7. **Conclusion**: The only option where the resultant can be equal to zero is **Option 1: 10N, 10N, 10N**. ### Final Answer: The resultant of the vectors in **Option 1 (10N, 10N, 10N)** may be equal to zero. ---
