Two forces are acting on an obiect. Which of the following statements is correct

Question

Two forces are acting on an obiect. Which of the following statements is correct, if the object experiences translational and rotational equilibrium? The object is in equilibrium if the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. .The object is in equilibrium if the forces act at the same point on the object. C. The object is in equilibrium if the net torque on the object is zero. An object will never be in equilibrium with two or more forces acting on it. E. The object is in equilibrium if the net force and the net torque on the object are zero.

Explanation / Answer

Option (E) 'The object is in equilibrium if the net force and the net torque on the object are zero', is the correct answer.

Explanation -

The object is in translational equilibrium, means the net force acting on the object is zero.

Again, the object is in rotational equilibrium, means the net torque acting on the object is zero.

Combing the both result, we get at the statement defined in option (E).
