Three forces are acting on a particle as shown in the figure. To have the resultant force only along the Y-direction, the magnitude of the minimum additional force needed is

a
0.866 N
b
1.732 N
c
0.5 N
d
4 N

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Resultant is along Y-axis. So, the component of resultant force along X-axis should be zero.∴ ∑ Fx = 0or 1 sin 300+2sin300-4cos600+F0 = 0∴  Fo = -12-1+2 = 12  = 0.5 N
