please give the correct ans from the 4 options  

balanced forces ____________   a body

a) move  b) accelerate  c) retard  d) deform

Hi,

Since the forces are balanced on the body. If we take body to be rigid body then in this condition of balanced force there will be no change in the motion of the body. Therefore options (a), (b), (c) cannot be the correct options. The only possibility from above is that the body will get deformed.

Therefore, answer is (d) deform.

Hope this helps,

Good luck.
