Assertion : A body subjected to three ...

Assertion : A body subjected to three concurrent forces cannot be in equilibrium.
Reason : If large number of concurrent forces acting on the same point, then the point will be in equilibrium, if sum of all the forces is equal to zero.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

A body subjected to three concurrent forces is found to in equilibrium if sum of these forces is equal to zero.
i.e., `vec(F_(1)) + vec(F_(2)) + vec(F_(3)) +………..=0`
