Introduction
For a body to remain in equilibrium state it is necessary that all the forces on it must be balanced.
Pre-Requisites:
Knowledge about the forces.
Activity:
Find out what forces are acting on a table in our home and find why it is at rest.
Real Life Question:
Why a table is at rest in our home?

| Anything at rest | Whichever object is at rest have the equilibrium of forces applicable to it. |
What you learn in Theory:
Equilibrium of a particle in mechanics refers to the situation when the net external force on the particle is zero, this means that, the particle is either at rest or in uniform motion.
What you learn in Practice:
For a body to remain either at rest or in the state of uniform motion all the forces on it must be balanced.
