Question

A body is acted upon by two forces each of magnitude F, but in opposite directions. State the effect of forces if the forces act along same line of action.

• A. Resultant force = 0
• B. Moment of forces = 0
• C. There will be no motion
• D. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D

All the above

Since the two forces are equal and opposite, the resultant of the two is zero. Moreover, since the two forces act on the same line of action, there are no moments of force. Hence, there is no motion.
