Consider the object subject to the two forces in Figure. Choose the correct statement with regard to this situation CM O The object is in force equilibrium but not torque equilibrium. O The object is in torque equilibrium but not force equilibrium. O The object is in both force equilibrium and torque equilibrium. O The object is in neither force equilibrium nor torque equilibrium

Answer 1

Solution:

Here;

as we can see:

$\sum \underset{F}{\rightarrow} =0$

as an equal and opposite force F is applied on the body.

whereas;

The torque applied on the body is:

$\tau = 2 d F$

hence the objectis not in the torque equilibrium.

=> The obect is in force equilibrium but not torque equilibrium.
