Question
The three similar torque (t) are acting at an angle of 120º with each other. The resultant torque will be-

- zero


The correct answer is: zero
Three similar torque are acting at an angle of 120° with each other. Now , we know when two vectors of same magnitude and the angle between them is 120 degree , they sum up and give a vector of same magnitude and the directing is in between the two vectors i.e 60 degree form each vector . So, when this resultant vector is added to the third vector of same magnitude but in opposite direction . The resultant sum is zero. Hence , this is the required solution .
