Use triangle law of vector addition,
here, F1+F2+F3=0, since net force is zero it means the body is in equilibrium so both the statements are correct.
Statement I: If three forces F1,F2 and F3 are represented by three sides of a triangle and F1+F2=−F3, then these three forces are concurrent forces and satisfy the condition for equilibrium.
Statement II: A triangle made up of three forces F1,F2 and F3 as its sides were taken in the same order, satisfies the condition for translatory equilibrium.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

A string $A$ of length $0.314$ m and Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{10}$ N/m$^2$ is connected to another string $B$ of length and Young's modulus both twice of those of $A$. This series combination of strings is then suspended from a rigid support and its free end is fixed to a load of mass $0.8$ kg. The net change in length of the combination is _____ mm. (radius of both the strings is $0.2$ mm and acceleration due to gravity $= 10$ m/s$^2$) (Mass of both strings is to be neglected as compared to the mass of load)
A particle of mass $m$ falls from rest through a resistive medium having resistive force, $F=-k v$, where $v$ is the velocity of the particle and $k$ is a constant. Which of the following graphs represents velocity ($v$) versus time ($t$)?
A spring of force constant $15 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$ is cut into two pieces. If the ratio of their length is $1: 3$, then the force constant of smaller piece is $\_\_\_\_$ $\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$.
Initially a satellite of 100 kg is in a circular orbit of radius $1.5 \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{E}}$. This satellite can be moved to a circular orbit of radius $3 R_{E}$ by supplying $\alpha \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~J}$ of energy. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$. (Take Radius of Earth $R_{E}=6 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~m}$ and $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$)
