MCQ
When an object is at rest
  • A
    Force is required to keep it in rest state
  • B
    No force is acting on it
  • A large number of forces may be acting on it which balance each other
  • D
    It is in vacuum

Answer

Correct option: C.
A large number of forces may be acting on it which balance each other
c
(c)

Object can be at rest only if net force acting on it is zero.

$\vec{F}_{\text {net }}=\vec{F}_1+\vec{F}_2+\vec{F}_3+\vec{F}_4+\ldots \ldots \ldots \vec{F}_n=0$
