For an object to be in equilibrium what should be the condition

For an object to be in equilibrium what should be the condition Correct Answer Acceleration = 0

CONCEPT:​

The first condition of equilibrium:

  • A rigid body is said to be in translational equilibrium if it remains at rest or moving with a constant
    velocity in a particular direction.
    • For this, the net external force or the vector sum of all the external forces acting on the body must
      be zero.

The second condition of equilibrium:

  • A rigid body is said to be in rotational equilibrium if the body does not rotate or rotates with constant
    angular velocity.
    • For this, the net external torque or the vector sum of all the torques acting on the body is zero.

EXPLANATION:

  • From the above discussion, it is clear that for an object to be in equilibrium it must follow the conditions mentioned above.
  • That is for an object to be in equilibrium its acceleration must be zero

The correct option is 1.
