NEET Physics Equilibrium of Forces Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): For a particle to be in equilibrium under the action of three concurrent forces, the vector sum of these forces must be zero. | Reason (R): The resultant of any two forces must be equal and opposite to the third force for equilibrium.
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
