MCQ
When an object is in equilibrium state, then
  • A
    It must be at rest
  • B
    No force is acting on it
  • Its net acceleration must be zero
  • D
    All of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
Its net acceleration must be zero
c
(c)

Equilibrium $\Rightarrow \vec{F}_{\text {net }}=0$

Using Newton's second law, $\vec{a}=0$
