The principle of the forces in equilibrium

states,
When forces act upon an object, the
object is said to be in a state of
equilibrium when the resulting force
acting on the object is zero (no net force
acting upon it)

When the equilibrium is reached, then the
object is in two states, that is
a) remains stationary (if the object is
stationary)
b) moves at a constant velocity (if the object
is moving)

Newtons Third Law Of Motion
Newtons third law of motion states,
To every action there is an equal but opposite
direction.
