Assertion : The condition of equilibrium for a rigid body is Translational equilibrium (\Sigma \mathrm{F}=0) and Rotational equilibrium (\Sigma \tau=0)
Reason : A rigid body must be in equilibrium under the action of two equal and opposite forces.
Options
- ABoth (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
- BBoth (A) and (R) are true and (R) is NOT the correct explanation of ((\mathrm{A})).
- C(A) is true but (R) is false.
- DBoth (A) and (R) are false.
Correct answer
C. (A) is true but (R) is false.
Step-by-step solution
Under the action of two equal and opposite forces body is in translational equilibrium, not in rotational equilibrium.
