When Monkey Mo is suspended at rest by holding a rope with one hand and the side of his cage with the other, all the force vectors that act on him
A)have equal magnitudes.
B)cancel except for his weight vector, mg.
C)have a vector sum of zero.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When Monkey Mo is suspended at rest, the forces acting on him are in equilibrium, meaning the vector sum of all forces (including the tension in the rope, the normal force from the cage, and his weight) is zero. This is necessary for him to remain at rest, according to Newton's first law of motion.
