Solution
No
,
if
the
sum
of
all
the
forces
acting
on
a
body
is
z
ero
,
the
body
is
not
necessarily
in
equilibrium
.
To
be
in
equilibrium
,
the
sum
of
torque
acting
on
the
body
must
be
z
ero
too
(

)
.
In
the
above
case
,
although
the
sum
of
the
forces
acting
on
the
body
is
zero
(
F
1
→
+
-
F
1
→
=
0
)
.
Still
,
the
body
will
rotate

So
,
it
won
