Solution
Equilibrium in any case requires the ? forces acting on an object = 0, i.e. that there is
Fnet = 0.
Static equilibrium is the situation where the object upon which the forces act is no moving.
The object is "static" hence the state of equilibrium gets its name.
Dynamic equilibrium is the situation where an object is in constant velocity motion.
{This object can't experience an acceleration which means Fnet >0}
