  • Linear Motion Equilibrium: Conditions & Examples
    For a body to be in equilibrium in linear motion, the following conditions must be satisfied:

    1. Net force: The net force acting on the body must be zero. This means that the vector sum of all the forces acting on the body must be zero.

    2. Balanced forces: The forces acting on the body must be balanced. This means that the forces must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

    Examples of moving bodies in equilibrium:

    * A car moving at a constant speed on a straight road.

    * A ball rolling down an inclined plane at a constant velocity.

    * A person pushing a shopping cart at a constant speed.

    * A book resting on a table.

    In each of these examples, the net force acting on the body is zero and the forces are balanced. As a result, the bodies are in equilibrium and continue to move with constant velocity.
