Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
As two equal forces can act on an object in many ways, either in the same direction, in a different direction, or even at some angle, frictional resistance can be present on that object.
● Suppose all the forces are balanced. There must be an equal and opposite force to balance the applied force. In this case, the body will not move.
● When the resultant force acting on a body is not zero, we can say an unbalanced force acts on it. A net or unbalanced force changes its state of rest or uniform motion when acting on a body. Or we can say the body will move.
When we add equal force in opposite directions, the net force is zero, so the above information is not enough to state whether the body will move or not.
The correct statement would be that the object will not necessarily move if two equal forces are acting on it.
