If a given force (or a given system of forces) acting on a body __________ the position of the body, but keeps it in equilibrium, then its effect is to produce internal stress in the body.

If a given force (or a given system of forces) acting on a body __________ the position of the body, but keeps it in equilibrium, then its effect is to produce internal stress in the body. Correct Answer Does not change
