Identify all the forces acting on an object at rest

Answered by admin @



Explanation:

An object is at rest does not mean that no force is acting on it. ... These are it's weight (gravity) and equal and opposite force from the ground (normal reaction). Since these forces are equal and opposite to each other, the vector sum of these equals zero and thus, the ball is in static equilibrium i.e. rest
