Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

It is possible for an object at rest to have forces acting upon it. An object at rest has two distinct system of forces that can keep it at rest:

  • When no force is acting on an object, we can conclude that it is at rest.
  • Also, when the forces acting on the object is balanced, it is also at rest.

A body with balanced set of forces will be at rest.
