At a manufacturing plant operated by Reliance Industries in Jamnagar, a heavy equipment box rests on the factory floor.
Even though gravity pulls the box downward, the floor pushes upward with an equal force. Because these forces balance each other, the box does not move.
Engineer Karan must calculate the net force acting on the box to verify equilibrium conditions for safety and stability.
A box of mass m kg rests on a horizontal surface and is not moving.
