उत्तर
When the body remains in the state of rest under the influence of applied forces, it is in static equilibrium and if it remains in the state of uniform motion, it is in dynamic equilibrium.
For example: In a beam balance when the beam is balanced in the horizontal position, the clockwise and anti-clockwise moments balance each other and the beam has no rotational motion i.e., it is in static equilibrium.
A body moving with uniform velocity in a straight line over a frictionless surface is in dynamic equilibrium.

State two condition for a body acted upon by several forces to be in equilibrium.
The figure shows a uniform metre rule placed on a fulcrum at its mid-point O and having a weight 40 gf at the 10 cm mark and a weight of 20 gf at the 90 cm mark.
- Is the metre rule in equilibrium? If not how will the rule turn?
- How can the rule be brought in equilibrium by using an additional weight of 40 gf?

The arms of a beam balance are 20 cm and 21 cm, but the pans are of equal weight. By the method of double weighing the weights are found to be 1000 g and 20 g. Find the actual weight of the body
The moon revolving around the earth is in ______ equilibrium.
In figure, a uniform bar of length l m is supported at its ends and loaded by a weight W kgf at its middle. In equilibrium, find the reactions R1 and R2 at the ends.

`["Hint:" "In equilibrium" "R"_1 + "R"_2 = "W" "and" "R"_1 xx l/2 = "R"_2 xx l/2]`
