Question

Equilibrium is the situation where the :

resultant force equal to zero and sum of torque equal to zero

resultant force equal to zero but sum of torque not equal to zero                         

resultant force  not equal to zero and sum of torque not equal to zero

resultant force not equal to zero but sum of torque equal to zero

a.

resultant force equal to zero and sum of torque equal to zero

b.

resultant force equal to zero but sum of torque not equal to zero                         

c.

resultant force  not equal to zero and sum of torque not equal to zero

d.

resultant force not equal to zero but sum of torque equal to zero

Explanation / Answer

option a

Equilibrium is the situation where the resultant force equal to zero and sum of torque equal to zero .

Resultanta force zero implies translational equilibrium. Sum of torque is zero implies rotational equilibrium.

If both are zero then total equilibrium can be obtained.
