Equilibrium of forces — practice question

Forces with magnitudes $2\,\text{N}$, $4\,\text{N}$ and $7\,\text{N}$ are combined to give a resultant force. The three force magnitudes are fixed, although the forces can act in any direction within the same plane. Which magnitude is not a possible value for the resultant force?

  • A$0\,\text{N}$
  • B$5\,\text{N}$
  • C$8\,\text{N}$
  • D$13\,\text{N}$
