gravity and displacement
The object accelerates in the direction of the force difference.
Zero.
An object in water ... whether floating or completely submerged ... is acted upon by two forces in the vertical direction: 1). its weight, directed downward, equal to its (mass) times (acceleration of gravity) 2). its buoyancy, directed upward, equal to the weight of the water that it displaces
Mechanical Equilibrium is the state in which 2 or More forces act on an object , and cancel each other out. There has to be an even number of forces for them to cancel each other out. So no, a single force will not achieve mechanical equilibrium.
No. When two forces act in the same direction, they can be added together. It is only when two identical forces act in opposite directions that they cancel each other out.
The object accelerates in the direction of the force difference.
vector sum of the two forces.
Zero.
light and water
Well, apart from two forces acting on the same point, they can act at different points. Thus, even if you have forces of equal magnitude in opposite directions, the object can start to rotate.Thus, there are two conditions for an object to be in equilibrium:1. The sum of all forces is zero.2. The sum of all torques is zero.Torque is the term used for forces that can cause rotation.Well, apart from two forces acting on the same point, they can act at different points.

There is no net force OF the object. If the forces act in the same direction, the net force is magnitude of the net force is the sum of the forces and acts in the same direction. If the forces act in opposite directions, the magnitude of the net force will be the difference between their magnitudes and it will act in the direction of the larger of the two forces.
Equal means the forces are of equal magnitude. And they act exactly in opposite directions. Then certainly the resultant effect will be zero. So we say that the forces are set in balanced condition. Hence balanced.
Mechanical Equilibrium is the state in which 2 or More forces act on an object , and cancel each other out. There has to be an even number of forces for them to cancel each other out. So no, a single force will not achieve mechanical equilibrium.
Capillary action and gravity is a a pair of opposing forces that act on water as it goes down through the soil.
No. When two forces act in the same direction, they can be added together. It is only when two identical forces act in opposite directions that they cancel each other out.
Force is split into 2 different "types" contact forces act between 2 objects that are TOUCHING, non-contact forces act as a distance and are not contacting. So the answer would be contact.
