 P: 1 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data There are two important conditions for a rigid body to be in equilibrium. The first condition is that the net force on a body must be zero. The second condition is that the net torque on a body must also be zero. 2,3. Relevant equations; attempt at solution. I apologize for the simple question but I am self-studying physics and having a hard time with this concept. So my question is: how are these two conditions not redundant? My initial reaction is that net torque must be zero if net force is zero, since $$\tau$$=Fr. Then I drew this situation (a door revolving around a central pivot point) that seems to show net torque without net force (the 2 forces add up to zero but there is still rotation). The img is attached to this post. The problem is, I still think net torque would be zero. $$\tau$$=Fr $$\tau$$=-Fr $$\Sigma\$$$$\tau$$=(Fr)+(-Fr)=0 Where am I going wrong here? Is one radius -r maybe? Thanks in advance! Attached Thumbnails
