Is it possible for forces acting on a given body to balanced each other and still rotate due to these balanced forces?
Yes. For the object not to move, two conditions must be satisfied: (1) The vector sum of forces must be zero, and (2) The vector sum of torques must be zero. Do some reading on torque, for more information.
What does is mean when a system has reached equilibrium?
if there is no motion of a lever around a fulcrum, then how do the torques compare? the torques must be equal. this does not necessarily imply that the forces or the lever arms involved are equal. when this situation occurs we say the lever system is in equilibrium.
What is the SI unit of balance?
There is no specific "unit of balance".For an object to be in balance, two conditions must be fulfilled:The sum of all forces on the object must be zero. In the SI, forces are measured in newtons.The sum of all torques on the object must be zero. In the SI, torques are measured in newton-meters.
How does a meter stick with a balloon on top balance on your finger?
A meter stick with - or without - a balloon on top balances on your finger when the sum of torques around the support point equals zero. When the support is an extended object such as a finger, the meter stick will be balanced when a line drawn toward the center of the planet from the point around which the sum of torques is zero is within the supported zone. Torque results from a force being applied at a distance from the point under consideration. When using a massive object such as a ruler as a backbone for torques, one must consider the mass of the ruler. For the purposes of torque calculations, consider the weight of the ruler to act at the center of gravity of the ruler and to point towards the center of gravity of the object which gives the ruler weight. In most cases that object will be Earth. If one's measurements are very sensitive, one must take into consideration surface features such as near by mountains, latitude and cetera...
Can the sum of the torques on an object be zero while the net force on the object is nonzero?
Yes. Consider an object with no torques acting on it (therefore the sum of the torques is obviously zero) but with a force directed through its center of mass. How about a freely spinning wheel on a shaft? Would have to be in a vacuum. Ok wait, the answer is yes. Consider a horizontal beam attached at one end that is 6 ft long. If a force (x) is applied at the end of it in the downward direction and another force is applied that is twice as powerful (2x) in the upward direction 3 ft from the attached end the net torque is zero but the net force is x in the upward direction.
What does speed compare?
The speed of light is the fastest speed we know about.
What happens to an object if the torques acting are not balanced?
The object will undergo rotational acceleration: it will either rotate faster or slower than previously.
What is the equilibrium rule of torques?
For equilibrium, the sum of all torques must be zero.

What are forces without torques?
Linear forces.
What are the conditions for the forces to be balanced?
That simply means that the sum (the vector sum) of forces acting on an object is zero. Note that for an object to remain in balance, there is also a second condition: the sum of all TORQUES on the object must also be zero.

What is active torque and passive torque?
Active torques are due to either gravitational force or deformation in elastic bodies passive torques are those due to friction or due to shear and deformation in inelastic bodies
