NEET Physics Equilibrium of Forces MCQ Question
In the context of forces acting on a body in equilibrium, which of the following statements is true?
The horizontal and vertical components of forces must add up to zero.
Only vertical forces need to be considered for equilibrium.
Forces acting on a body can have different magnitudes and still be in equilibrium.
The resultant force can be non-zero if the body is at rest.
