If a vector A is multiplied by a real number (say n), the vector of same nature is obtained but its magnitude is n times that of A.
The two vectors (say A and B) of different magnitudes cannot be combined to give zero resultant since minimum value of combination is ІA-BІ which is not zero if AB.
The three vectors A, B and C of different magnitudes can be zero such that they form a closed triangle, then,
A+B+C=0
or, C=-(A+B)
Hence, the sum of three vectors may be zero if vector sum of any two vectors is equal and opposite to the third vector.
Note: The vectors can give this result only if...
Makar disclosed that he had killed the merchant because he realized his mistake and Aksionov's suffering and now he wanted to make Aksionov release from the prison.
