The condition for translational equilibrium of a body is
A$\vec{F}_{\text{net}}=0$
B$\vec{v}=0$
C$\vec{a}=g$
DNet moment is maximum
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. $\vec{F}_{\text{net}}=0$
Translational equilibrium means the resultant external force is zero, so $\vec{F}_{\text{net}}=0$.
A body may even be moving with constant velocity and still satisfy this condition.
