==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
'''Equilibrium''' is the state of an [[object]] when the net [[force]] and net [[moment]] acting on it are zero.

===About Equilibrium===
*In static '''equilibrium''', an [[object]] is at rest with no net [[force]] or [[moment]] acting on it.
*In dynamic '''equilibrium''', an [[object]] moves with constant [[velocity]] with no net [[force]] or [[moment]] acting on it.
*Conditions for '''equilibrium''' include ∑𝐹=0 (no net force) and ∑𝜏=0 (no net moment).
*Stability of '''equilibrium''' can be classified as stable, unstable, or neutral.
