A body will be in translational equilibrium if the vector sum of all the forces acting on it is:
- A
Zero
- B
Min
- C
Max
- D
Equal
The vector sum of all of the forces acting on a body is a single force called the net force. If the net force is equal to zero, the object is said to be in equilibrium. The law of equilibrium states that the sum of all forces/torques on a body has to be "Zero" for the body to be considered in equilibrium based on it the body is moving or not, the equilibrium is classified as static or dynamic.
A body possesses translational equilibrium when no net force is acting on the body.
The net force of the body must be zero for the body in equilibrium.
The net force of the body must be zero for the body in equilibrium.
The net force of the body must be zero for the body in equilibrium.
