  3. It must be equal to zero
  4. It can be any value

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

When analyzing forces in equilibrium, which of the following is true about the net force?
  • Step 1: Understand what equilibrium means. Equilibrium occurs when all the forces acting on an object are balanced.
  • Step 2: Recall the definition of net force. The net force is the total force acting on an object after all the individual forces are combined.
  • Step 3: In equilibrium, since the forces are balanced, the total or net force must be zero.
  • Step 4: Conclude that if the net force is zero, the object will not accelerate and will either remain at rest or move at a constant velocity.
