The equilibrium of a rigid body refers to the state in which a body that does not undergo deformation—that is, whose shape remains unchanged—remains in a stable position under the action of external forces and moments. In mechanics, a rigid body is considered an object composed of particles, between which no relative motion occurs. Therefore, the object is assumed to move as a whole. The state of equilibrium is defined by the absence of any translational or rotational motion. For this condition

Rigid body equilibrium is the condition in which bodies, assumed to be undeformable and thus incapable of changing shape, remain stationary under the action of forces and moments. In mechanics, a rigid body is an object composed of particles, but with no relative motion between these particles, so that the entire body moves as a single unit. Equilibrium is defined by the absence of any translational (linear) or rotational (angular) motion. For this state to occur, the vector sum of all external
