A particle has a displacement of 12 m towards east and 5m towards north and finally 6m vertically upwards. The sum of these displacement is

A

12 m

B

10.04 m

C

14.31 m

D

23 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

C

Displacement=`sqrt(12^(2)+5^(2)+6^(2))`
`=sqrt(144+25+36)=sqrt(205)=14.31 m`
