Problem

Three force

F_1 = 10 \text{ N}

F_2 = 8 \text{ N}

F_3 = 6 \text{ N}

are acting on a particle of mass 5 kg. The forces

F_2

and

F_3

are applied perpendicular so that particle remains at rest. If the force

F_1

is removed, then the acceleration of the particle is: [Main April 12, 2023 (I)] (a)

2 \text{ ms}^{-2}

(b)

0.5 \text{ ms}^{-2}

(c)

4.8 \text{ ms}^{-2}

(d)

7 \text{ ms}^{-2}
