If a body is at rest ... or traveling at a constant speed in a straight line ... there
could well be millions of forces acting on it.
The only conclusion you can draw from the fact that it has no acceleration is that
all the forces acting on it must add up to zero.

When can a body stay at rest even though forces act on it?
The force is applied proportional to it...........
Can balance force bring a body to rest?
Balanced forces cannot bring a body to rest. Balanced forces can act on a body which is already at rest or in motion but equal forces cannot change a bodies acceleration, kinetic energy or momentum.
When a body is falling freely which force act on it?
no force act on it
Can you say that no force acts on a body at rest?
You could say it if you want, but it's not a true statement. Without investigating the situation in detail, we know immediately that every object on Earth, whether at rest or in motion, is acted upon by a gravitational force directed toward the center of the Earth. There are other exceptions to the statement, but we've already disproven it, utterly and easily.
Which body is in equilibrium?
When the net force acting on the body is zero. The body will remain in equilibrium until an external force is applied to the body.
Does any force act on a body at rest?
Gravity, pressure.
When can a body stay at rest even though forces act on it?
The force is applied proportional to it...........
Does the Law of Inertia state that a body remains at rest or continues in a state of uniform motion unless a force act on it?
The Law of Inertia states that a body continues in a state of uniform motion unless a force act on it.
Can balance force bring a body to rest?
Balanced forces cannot bring a body to rest. Balanced forces can act on a body which is already at rest or in motion but equal forces cannot change a bodies acceleration, kinetic energy or momentum.

What is the definition of force in the 3 laws of motion?
for every force which act on one body action force there is an equal and opposite forces reaction force which act on same other body
Which body is in equilibrium?
When the net force acting on the body is zero. The body will remain in equilibrium until an external force is applied to the body.
Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest and a body in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by?
An unbalanced force.
What is the effect of force on bodies at rest?
The force accelerates the body, a=F/m.
What is something that can change the position of an object?
It can be a force or the absence of a force. A body at rest remains at rest unless it is acted on by a force. But, a body in motion will continue to move at a constant velocity (change its position) unless it is acted by a force.
What is An action exerted on a body in order to change the body's state of rest or motion force has magnitude and direction?
a force lil' G !!
