Answer:
B. Neutral equilibrium
Explanation:
Equilibrium is defined as the point where the total net force on the system is zero and the net torque is zero as well.
Neutral equilibrium simply means when an object is displaced and obtains an entire new position.
Since the ice cube has been given a push, it slides down by changing it’s position, this position changed makes its equilibrium neutral.
Answer:
Explanation:
(b) It is in neutral equilibrium.
