Question

If balanced forces acts on body, body must be at rest

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. When forces are balanced net force is zero and this means acceleration is also zero according to Newton's second law $F=ma$.
2. When acceleration is zero the body can either be at rest or moving with uniform velocity.
3. Hence the statement “If balanced forces acts on body, body must be at rest” is False.
