when all three are added with head to tail rule, the direction of the resultant will NT change, and the individual magnitude of all three forces are added up..

If three concurrent forces are in equilibrium what is the relation between any one of the three forces and the resultant of the other two forces?

They have equal magnitudes and opposite directions.


What is a force mass acceleration triangle?

From Toluwalope Oluyipe:Triangle of Forces is a triangle whose sides represent the magnitudes and directions of 3 forces in equilibrium whose resultant is zero and which are therefore in equilibriumA triangle of forces in a representation of three force vectors . The length of the sides indicate the magnitude of respective forces and their direction indicate the direction of application of force . Since the triangle is a closed figure , it means the resultant of the three vectors constituting the triangle in 0.


What are three ways of accelerating in a straight line?

acceleration is caused when a force acts on a particular mass..so the three ways i can think of would be:- 1) two different forces acting in opposite direction would cause the body to accelerate towards the side with the greater force 2) two forces action in the same direction where the acceleration would be proportional to the sum of the forces 3)two forces action in random directions on a particular body..the resultant and the direction of the body in which the acceleration would be caused can be found out by the triangle law or the parallelogram law.. (drop me a msg if u dun kno abt the laws and I'll tell ya k..)

Type of force can cause an object to change direction?

Any force will cause change in velocity (speed and/or direction)if it isn't canceled by an equal, opposite force.

Define triangle law of forces and polygon law of forces?

Three forces in equilibrium can be represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle taken in order. If a number of forces acting simultaneously on a particle be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a polygon taken in order, their resultant may be represented in magnitude and direction by the closing side of the polygon taken in opposite order.


A resultant vector is?

a resultant vector not only the resultant of two or three vector. it is the resultant direction of two or many vectors.(let us push an object with same force in opposite direction the resultant is zero and if we push in same direction the force will double.if we pull a object with same force in x and y direction the resultant force in 45 degrees to x axis)

Why is a triangle a balanced force?

Because one of the three forces is equal and opposite to the resultant of the first two.


Can three vectors be added using the parallelogram method?

yes since the 3rd vector will be parallel to the resultant of the 1st and 2nd vector


What is the minimum number of unequal vectors that give a zero resultant?

Three One is obviously out. Two is out because if two unequal forces n and p act on an object the resultant with the minimum force in magnitude is |n - p|, which will never be 0 if n =/= p. Three can be easily resolved with a quick example. Imagine an object with three concurrent forces acting on it. Two forces, n = 3 N and p = 4 N, create an angle with each other such that the resultant is 5 N. 180 degrees from the resultant, a force, r = 5 N, is acting on the object. Thus three unequal vectors on an object can result in 0.


What is the unbalanced force on an object when two equal and opposite forces of 3 N act on an object?

When two forces acting on an object are not equal in size, we say that they are unbalanced forces. a stationary object starts to move in the direction of the resultant force. ... a moving object changes speed and/or direction in the direction of the resultant force.


How do you prove three vectors are equal to zero?

If the sum of their components in any two orthogonal directions is zero, the resultant is zero. Alternatively, show that the resultant of any two vectors has the same magnitude but opposite direction to the third.
