NEET Physics Equilibrium of Forces MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the equilibrium of forces is correct?
For a particle to be in equilibrium, the vector sum of all forces acting on it must be zero.
Equilibrium can only occur when two forces act on a body.
Three concurrent forces can be in equilibrium only if they form a right angle.
The action and reaction forces can act on the same body to maintain equilibrium.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, a particle is in equilibrium when the vector sum of all acting forces is zero, as stated in the conditions for equilibrium under three concurrent forces.
