(a) The application of the conditions of the equilibrium of the body is valid only in the 2D
(b) The application of the conditions of the equilibrium of the body is valid only in the 3D
(c) The application of the conditions of the equilibrium of the body is valid only in the 1D
(d) The application of the conditions of the equilibrium of the body is valid throughout
This question was addressed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.
Asked question is from Stability of Equilibrium Configurations in section Principle of Virtual Work of Engineering Mechanics
