Share:
- 1If three forces acting at a point are represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a triangle, the resultant is zero.
- 2If two forces acting at a point are represented in magnitude and direction by two adjacent sides of a parallelogram, their resultant is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal drawn from that point.✓
- 3If two forces acting at a point are represented in magnitude and direction by two adjacent sides of a parallelogram, their resultant is represented in magnitude only by the diagonal.
- 4If multiple forces act on a body, they can be replaced by a single force acting along the perimeter of a parallelogram.
Correct answer
If two forces acting at a point are represented in magnitude and direction by two adjacent sides of a parallelogram, their resultant is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal drawn from that point.
