For stability of equilibrium configuration the net moment acting on the body by various forces is zero.

For stability of equilibrium configuration the net moment acting on the body by various 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 cancels 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.

The net moment of the body is zero that means the distance between the force and the rotational axis is zero thus the stability of equilibrium configuration.
For the conditions of the stability of equilibrium configuration of the body, i.e. the body only the external forces defines the equilibrium. Because the internal forces cancels out so not to be considered.
