A particle moving with velocity is acted by three forces shown by the vector triangle PQR. The velocity of the particle will:

Increase
Decrease
Remain constant
Change according to the smallest force
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the vector triangle PQR.The forces acting on the particle are represented by the sides of the triangle PQR.According to the triangle law of forces, if three forces acting on a particle arerepresented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a triangle taken in order,then these forces are in equilibrium.In the given triangle PQR, the forces are in equilibrium, meaning the net forceacting on the particle is zero.Since the net force is zero, there is no acceleration acting on the particle.According to Newton's first law of motion, if the net external force on a particleis zero, the particle will continue to move with a constant velocity.Therefore, the velocity of the particle will remain constant.This corresponds to Option 3: Remain constant.
