NEET Physics Equilibrium of Forces MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations correctly describe the equilibrium of forces acting on a particle?
The vector sum of all forces must equal zero and can be represented as the sides of a closed polygon.
For two forces to be in equilibrium, one must be larger than the other.
The resultant force of any two forces must be equal to the third force in magnitude only.
The equilibrium of three forces can be achieved if they are not concurrent.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The correct statement reflects that for a particle to be in equilibrium, the vector sum of all acting forces must be zero, and they can be represented by the sides of a closed polygon as stated in the context. Options B, C, and D contain misconceptions about the nature of forces in equilibrium.
