Balanced and Unbalanced Forces: Overview
This topic covers concepts such as Classification of Forces, Balanced Forces, Unbalanced Forces, Force of Friction and Force.
Important Questions on Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
Assertion: If the resultant force acting on a body is zero, then body is in equilibrium.
Reason: Resultant force on a body is equal to algebraic sum of all forces acting on the body.

When balanced forces act on a body, the body :
