Statement I: A body in equilibrium has to be at reat only.
Statement II: A body in equilibrium may be moving with a constant speed along a straight line path.

A

Statement I is true, statement II is true, Statement II is the correct explanation for statement I.

B

Statemet I is true, Statement II is true , Statement II is NOT the correct explanation for Statement I

C

Statement I is True, Statement II is False.

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In equilibrium, net force on body is zero, therefore, its acceleration a is zero. If the body is at rest, it will remain at rest. If the body is moving with a constant speed along a straight line path. It will continue to do so.
