The main use of a body section of a rocket is most likely to store fuel. As you can see in rocket launches it detaches after the boosters are used up and only the main capsule remains.

How can you tell if the forces are balanced once the rocket is in flight?
You should test your rocket's stability BEFORE you launch! Locate the center of gravity (CG) on your rocket and tie a long string (about 6 feet long) around the body of your rocket at the CG point. Take the other end of the string and swing it over your head around your body. If it flies straight, you're good. If it wobbles or tumbles, then you need to shift the CG more forward of the center point. If you don't know the relationship of "center of gravity" and "center point", you should read up first before you consider launching a rocket. Apogee.com is a great site to learn from. Good luck!
