Static Equilibrium

Objects remain at rest only when the net force and the net torque are zero. The converse is also true: if an object remains at rest, then you know the net force and the net torque must be zero. The first statement predicts whether an object will remain at rest or begin to move, while the second statement is used to determine unknown forces.
