Physics-Equilibrium of Forces
NEET Physics Equilibrium of Forces Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): For a body to be in equilibrium under the action of multiple forces, the vector sum of these forces must be zero. | Reason (R): Newton's third law states that action and reaction forces are equal and opposite.
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 B
Detailed Explanation
The vector sum of forces being zero is the condition for equilibrium. Newton's third law relates to action-reaction pairs, not equilibrium conditions.
