The same line in the same sense.<\/p>\n<p>Two forces acting at a point are in equilibrium if the net force acting on the point is zero. This means that the forces must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. In other words, they must be along the same line in the same sense.<\/p>\n<p>Option B is incorrect because the forces do not need to be along the same line.
