Per NCERT §6.8 (equilibrium of a rigid body), a rigid body is in MECHANICAL equilibrium when which conditions hold?
AOnly ΣF = 0 force balance
BΣF = 0 AND Στ = 0
CKE = 0 at all times
DOnly Στ = 0 torque balance
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. ΣF = 0 AND Στ = 0
NCERT §6.8: BOTH translational (ΣF=0) and rotational (Στ=0) equilibrium are required.
