NEET Physics Equilibrium of Forces Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): For a body to be in equilibrium under the action of multiple forces, the vector sum of all forces acting on it must be zero. | Reason (R): Action and reaction forces act on different bodies and do not contribute to the net force on a single body.
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 assertion is true as equilibrium requires the vector sum of forces to be zero. The reason is true but it explains why action and reaction forces do not cancel each other out for a single body, not why the vector sum is zero.
