3Moments Equilibrium Centre MassHard1 mark
Three coplanar forces, P, Q and R, act at a point.
The three forces are in equilibrium.
The magnitude of P is increased by 10%. The directions of the forces are unchanged.
Which percentage increase, if any, is required to the magnitudes of Q and R for the forces to be
once again in equilibrium?
| % increase in magnitude of Q | % increase in magnitude of R | |
|---|---|---|
| A | 10 | 10 |
| B | 0 | 10 |
| C | ||
| D | 10 |
