Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct option is 2.

The minimum of forces needed to maintain a particle in equilibrium is two. This is because a particle in equilibrium is not accelerating. The net force acting on a particle must be zero for it not to accelerate. A single force will always have a magnitude and a direction. When a single force acts on a particle, the particle accelerates in the direction of the force.
