According to the law of moments, if a number of co-planer forces acting on a particle are in equilibrium, then the algebraic sum of their moments about any point is equal to the moment of their resultant force about the same point.

Right answer is option D.

The principle of moments states that when in equilibrium the total sum of the anti clockwise moment is equal to the total sum of the clockwise moment. It is in equilibrium condition only.

Option A and C both correct, if Ais not correct then the body in linear motion, and if C is not correct then the body will start spinning.

Option C is correct.

An algebraic sum equal to the moment of resultant means zero.

Ref: RS Khurmi and JK Gupta .

Varignon or law of moments.

Both are same.

So, Option D is correct.

What is difference between varignon's theorem and law of moments?

Bhavani said:   6 years ago
For equilibrium resultant must be zero, hence C is correct.

Raaj said:   10 years ago
According to law of moments, than last option is right.

Sandip Thakkar said:   6 years ago
Option D is for Varingnon Principle.

Ref RS Khurmi.

Sohan said:   7 years ago
Option D is correct due to Varignon's Theorem.
