NEET Physics Equilibrium of Forces Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): For a particle to be in equilibrium under the action of multiple forces, the forces can be represented by the sides of a closed polygon with vector arrows directed in the same sense. | Reason (R): The vector sum of forces acting on a particle in equilibrium is zero.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context states that a particle is in equilibrium if forces can be represented by sides of a closed polygon and the vector sum of these forces is zero, making R the correct explanation for A.
