NEET Physics Equilibrium of Forces Assertion Reason Question
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.
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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as equilibrium requires the vector sum of forces to be zero. The reason correctly explains that for equilibrium under concurrent forces, the resultant of any two forces must be equal and opposite to the third, as per the NCERT context.
