In the edge dislocation configuration given in the figure, dislocations X and Y are fixed and separated by a distance 2h on the same slip plane. Dislocation Z is free to glide on a parallel slip plane. The two slip planes are separated by a distance h. Which one of the following statements is TRUE regarding the stability of dislocation Z at positions 1, 2 and 3?
Assume all dislocations have identical Burgers vector.
