Answer:

When the sum of all forces applied to the object is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

N2L states that net force equals an object's mass times its acceleration (F = ma). If the net force is 0, the acceleration of the object is 0.

On the second note, when an object has 0 acceleration (which means it has a constant velocity), it is in equilibrium (N1L).
