Homework Statement
I'm just trying to understand why the force from net torque isn't included in net force when considering equilibrium: Why isn't the force from torque part of the net forces acting on a body?
Homework Equations
if net force = 0 and net torque = 0 then the body is in equilibrium;
net force = ma, torque = Frsin@, where @ is theta
The Attempt at a Solution
It seems like the force required for torque should be part of the net forces acting on the body.
