Can a body be in equilibrium if only one force acts on it? I think it can't, if the force is non-zero. Thoughts?

Makes sense to me.failexam said:I think it can't, if the force is non-zero.
The condition for equilibrium refers to the state in which an object is at rest or moving at a constant velocity, with no net force acting upon it.
The three conditions for equilibrium are: 1) The net force acting on the object must be zero, 2) The net torque acting on the object must be zero, and 3) The object must be at rest or moving at a constant velocity.
The condition for equilibrium is used to determine the forces acting on an object in order to keep it at rest or in constant motion. It is also used to analyze and predict the behavior of objects in static and dynamic situations.
Static equilibrium refers to the state in which an object is at rest, while dynamic equilibrium refers to the state in which an object is moving at a constant velocity. In both cases, the net force and net torque acting on the object are zero.
No, an object cannot be in equilibrium if it is accelerating. In order for an object to be in equilibrium, it must be at rest or moving at a constant velocity, which means there is no acceleration.
