NEET Physics Equilibrium of Forces MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the equilibrium of forces is correct?
The vector sum of three concurrent forces must be zero for equilibrium.
A body can be in equilibrium even if it is in motion.
Friction always opposes the motion of all objects.
Equilibrium requires that all forces acting on a body are equal in magnitude.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
For a particle to be in equilibrium under three concurrent forces, the vector sum of those forces must be zero, as stated in the provided context. This is a key principle of equilibrium.
