Equilibrium of a body is a state in which all the forces acting on the body are balanced (cancelled out), and the net force acting on the body is zero.

Answer:

A force is a vector quantity which means that it has both a magnitude (size) and a direction associated with it.

Step-by-step explanation:

If an object is at equilibrium, then the forces are balanced. Balanced is the key word that is used to describe equilibrium situations.
