For equilibrium, the net moment acting on the body by various conservative forces is zero.

For equilibrium, the net moment acting on the body by various conservative forces is zero. Correct Answer True

The equilibrium is only attained if the net moment on the body tends to be equal to zero. Thus the moments caused by different forces cancel out. If this happens there is no motion of the body along any direction and hence the body is said to be in equilibrium. The body here is a rigid body.
