A Levels Physics (9702)•9702/13/O/N/24

Explanation
Conditions for equilibrium in rigid bodies
Steps:
- Identify net force and net torque for each object.
- For translational equilibrium, net force must be zero.
- For rotational equilibrium, net torque must be zero.
- Determine which diagram shows both conditions satisfied.
Why D is correct:
- Option D has balanced forces (net force = 0) and torques (net torque = 0), per Newton's first law for rigid bodies.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Net force nonzero, causes translation.
- B: Net torque nonzero, causes rotation.
- C: Both net force and torque nonzero.
Not enough information on diagrams to confirm details.
Final answer: D
