  1. Question 1

    Q1. Three vectors of equal magnitude A are joined head-to-tail to form an equilateral triangle. What is the magnitude of their resultant vector?

    • A) 3A
    • B) A sqrt(3)
    • C) 0
    • D) A

    Answer: 0

    Explanation: If vectors form a closed loop, the start and end points coincide, making the resultant zero. Option A assumes they add linearly.
