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 F_1, F_2 and F_3 are represented by three sides of a triangle and F_1+ F_2=- F_3, then these three forces are concurrent…

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:

When a part of a straight capillary tube is placed vertically in a liquid, the liquid raises upto certain height $h$. If the inner radius of the capillary tube, density of the liquid and surface tension of the liquid decrease by $1 \%$ each, then the height of the liquid in the tube will change by $\%$.
