nmdcat.online August 7, 2026

50. A particle is subjected to forces whose resultant components are (R_x=12) N and (R_y=5) N. An additional force is applied to establish equilibrium. Its components must be

A. +12 N and +5 N
B. -12 N and +5 N
C. +12 N and -5 N
D. -12 N and -5 N
✓

📝 Explanation

Equilibrium requires the additional force to be equal and opposite to the existing resultant. Therefore its components are -12 N and -5 N.

📖 Additional Information

  • +12 N and +5 N
  • -12 N and +5 N
  • +12 N and -5 N
  • -12 N and -5 N

Equilibrium requires the additional force to be equal and opposite to the existing resultant. Therefore its components are -12 N and -5 N.
