Physics · Stability and Equilibrium
Given below are two statements, one labeled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R): Assertion (A): A wider base of support always ensures greater stability for an athlete in every direction. Reason (R): Stability depends on the position of the line of gravity relative to the base of support, not solely on the width of the base. Choose the correct option:
- 1A is false, but R is true✓
- 2A is true, but R is false
- 3Both A and R are true, but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
