NEET Physics Equilibrium of Forces Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): A particle is in equilibrium if the vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero. | Reason (R): For equilibrium under concurrent forces, the resultant of any two forces must be equal and opposite to the third force.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
