If resultant of forces acting on a system is zero then

A

Work done by each force must be zero .

B

Total work done by all forces must be zero .

C

Total work done by all the forces may be non - zero

D

Kinetic energy of the system must remain constant .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

When resultant of all thef forces acting on a system is zero then it does not imply that total work done may zero or non - zero . In fact total work may be zero or non - zero and thus kinetic energy of the system may or may not change .
