There may be none, or there may be a whole bunch of forces on a body at rest.
There's no way to tell.
The only thing you know for sure is that if the body is at rest ... or even if it's moving
but its speed and direction of motion aren't changing ... then all the forces on it, if any,
add up to zero.

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.
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 !!
Starting from rest a 2 kg body acquires a speed of 8ms in 2 seconds the net force acting on the body is?
Starting from rest, a 2 kg body acquires a speed of 8 m/s in 2 seconds. The net force acting on the body is
A body at rest tends to stay at?
Rest. At rest denotes a constant velocity including velocity of zero. Newton's Law says that a body will change its velocity ,accelerate or decelerate, only when an external force is applied. No force, no acceleration, no change in velocity. At rest itself denotes no force.
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 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 !!
Does any force act on a body at rest?
Gravity, pressure.
What is static frictional force?
a force that works between a body at rest & the plane upon which it is resting.
What happens to a body originally at rest when force is applied on it?
When force is applied on a body originally at rest, the body begins to move. For example, a car originally at rest when pushed, begins to move. A grass roller when pulled begins to move. A ball lying on the ground moves when it is kicked.
What is the effect of normal force?
The normal force causes a body to move from its rest position and covers a distance.
Starting from rest a 2 kg body acquires a speed of 8ms in 2 seconds the net force acting on the body is?
Starting from rest, a 2 kg body acquires a speed of 8 m/s in 2 seconds. The net force acting on the body is
What does Newton's first law?
a body at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force; also a body in motion at constant velocity will stay in motion at constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force
What is inerta?
Inertia - the resistance of a body to change its momentum, a body at rest remains at rest, a body in straight line motion will remain so, unless a force is applied against it
