Statement 1: Any vector in space can be uniquely written as the linear combination of three non-coplanar vectors. Stetement 2: If veca, vecb, vecc are three non-coplanar vectors and vecr is any vector in space then [(veca,vecb, vecc)]vecc+[(vecb, vecc, vecr)]veca+[(vecc, veca, vecr)]vecb=[(veca, vecb, vecc)]vecr

Assertion: The minimum number of vectors of unequal magnitude required to produce zero resultant is three. Reason: Three vectors of unequal magnitude which can be represented by the three sides of a triangle taken in order, produce zero resultant.

Assertion: A combination of two simple harmonic motions with a arbitrary amplitudes and phases is not necessarily periodic. Reason: A periodic motion can always be expressed as a sum of infinite number of harmonic motions with appropriate amplitudes.
