Options

• remain stationary

• have only rotational motion

• have only rectilinear motion

Answer 1

A body is acted upon by two equal and opposite forces, that are NOT along the same straight line. The body will have only rotational motion.

Explanation:

The two equal and opposite forces that do not act along the same straight line constitute a pair, which generates solely rotational motion without translational motion.
