Q112
General SciencePhysics
A body is acted upon by two unequal forces in opposite directions, but not in one line. The effect that the body will have is
  1. a.only rotational motion
  2. b.only translational motion
  3. c.neither the rotational nor the translational motion
  4. d.rotational as well as translational motion

Answer: (D) rotational as well as translational motion

Since the two forces are unequal, there is a net resultant force causing translational motion; since they don't act along the same line, they also create a net torque, producing rotational motion as well — so the body experiences both simultaneously.
