A body is in equilibrium when:
- athe resultant force on it is zero only
- bthe resultant moment on it is zero only
- cboth the resultant force and the resultant moment are zero
- dit is at rest
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
both the resultant force and the resultant moment are zero
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
A zero resultant force prevents linear acceleration and a zero resultant moment prevents angular acceleration; both are needed.
