The meaning of a rigid body in equilibrium .
Answer to Problem 1FC
Explanation of Solution
A rigid body is said to be in equilibrium, if its translational acceleration and angular rotational acceleration are zero. When a body is moving with a uniform velocity its translational acceleration is zero but its translational motion is not zero. When a body is moving with a uniform
Therefore, a rigid body is said to be in equilibrium, if the body can have the translational and rotational motions, as long as its translational acceleration and angular acceleration are zero.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct option is, “(d) The body can have translational and rotational motions, as long as its translational acceleration and angular acceleration are zero”.
