NUST NET Physics — Vectors and Equilibrium
Vectors and Equilibrium is part of the FSc Physics course that NUST NET-Engineering draws on (Physics is 60 of the 200 MCQs). It breaks into 3 subtopics, and we hold 63 NET-pattern practice MCQs on it, each with a written explanation. Tap a subtopic below to practise just that.

Vectors and Equilibrium MCQs from the NET-pattern papers
Try each one before opening the answer. Each comes with a short explanation.
- Q1 · NUST NET Past Paper 07 · Vectors and Equilibrium
Two forces of 3 N and 4 N act at right angles on a body. The magnitude of their resultant is:
- A.7 N
- B.1 N
- C.5 N
- D.12 N
Show answer
Answer: C. 5 N — R = √(3² + 4²) = 5 N.
- Q2 · NUST NET Past Paper 08 · Vectors and Equilibrium
Two forces of 6 N and 8 N act on a body in any directions. Which of the following CANNOT be their resultant?
- A.2 N
- B.10 N
- C.14 N
- D.15 N
Show answer
Answer: D. 15 N — The resultant of 6 N and 8 N lies between 2 N and 14 N, so 15 N is impossible.
- Q3 · NUST NET Past Paper 05 · Vectors and Equilibrium
Two forces of fixed sizes act on a body. Their resultant is largest when the angle between them is:
- A.90°
- B.180°
- C.60°
- D.0°
Show answer
Answer: D. 0° — Forces pointing the same way (0°) add fully, giving the largest resultant F₁ + F₂.
