State the conditions necessary for equilibrium of a rigid body under action of a system of forces.

• The sum of clockwise moments about a fixed point is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments about the same point.
• The sum of all the forces acting on the body must be zero. This ensures that the body does not undergo any linear acceleration. Mathematically, this can be expressed as: ∑F = 0
