NEET Physics Equilibrium of Forces MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the equilibrium of forces is correct?
For three concurrent forces to be in equilibrium, their vector sum must equal zero.
A single force can be in equilibrium if it acts alone on an object.
The resultant of any two forces must always be greater than the third force for equilibrium.
In equilibrium, the forces acting on a particle can be represented by the sides of an open polygon.
Correct Answer
