If the resultant of two concurrent forces is zero then it implies that the two forces are

Answer 1

Answer:

Equilibrium Of Concurrent Forces

If the net resultant force acting on a body is zero, it means that the net acceleration of the body is also zero (from the second law of motion).

Answer 2

If the resultant of two concurrent forces is zero then it implies that the two forces are equal and opposite in direction.

• To solve this question, let us first understand the meaning of concurrent forces.
• Concurrent forces are those forces whose line of action lie on the same point, i.e. when they are extended they meet at the same point.
• Hence if they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, their resultant force will be zero.
