When forces on a body are equal, the body stays still. The forces have to be equal in strength but the direction of application should be exactly opposite.
They are called COUPLE.if forces on an object are equal and opposite...
Because NOT all forces are equal and opposite. By Newton's Third Law, if object A attracts object B, then object B also attracts object A - with an equal but opposite force. But those forces act on DIFFERENT objects! The forces on object A, and on object B, may be unbalanced!Because NOT all forces are equal and opposite.

Actually, forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called balanced forces. Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal in size and/or opposite in direction, resulting in a change in an object's motion.
Yes, it is false that balanced forces are equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions. Balanced forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no overall change in an object's motion. When forces are balanced, the object will either remain at rest or move at a constant velocity.
When equal forces act on an object in opposite directions, they create a state of balance known as equilibrium. This means that the object will not accelerate in any particular direction, but remain stationary or move at a constant velocity.
If the forces on an object are balanced, it means that the size and direction of the forces are equal and opposite. This results in no acceleration of the object, and it remains in a state of equilibrium.
You say that the two forces are in equilibrium.
What are forces of equal strength acting in opposite directions on an object called
When an object is floating in a fluid, two forces are acting on it: the buoyant force, which pushes the object upward and is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object; and the gravitational force, which pulls the object downward. When these two forces are equal, the object remains in equilibrium and floats.
Action-Reaction Forces.
Yes, if the forces are equal and acting in opposite directions, the net force will equal zero and that object can be said to be at rest.
When the upward and downward forces on a falling object are equal, the object reaches terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the object stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed.
