Question

Three vectors emerging from a point are always in a single plane.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in semester exam.

The above asked question is from Cartesian Vectors topic in section Force Vectors of Engineering Mechanics

Answer 1

Right option is (b) False

The explanation is: Yes, whenever two vectors are there, they are always in a single plane. But you cannot say about the three vectors, they may or may be. Because if the emerging vectors are more than three then saying about their plane is somewhat difficult. But for two vectors it seems easy to understand about their plane.
