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.
What else can I help you with?
Can an object be in equilibrium if only one force acts upon it?
if only a single nonzero force acts on an object, its motion will change and will not be in mechanical equilibrium. There would have to be other forces to result in a zero net force for equilibrium.
The states that exists when the only force acting on an object is gravity?
The two states that exist when the only force acting on an object is gravity are free fall and equilibrium. In free fall, the object is accelerating downward due to gravity, while in equilibrium, the object is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity with no net force acting on it.
What are the 2 types of force affecting equilibrium?
The object will be in the state of equilibrium unless it is affected by another unbalanced force.Unbalance force make object move or stop by making more impact than the forces already on the object.For example there are several forces acting on the object even when it seems to be at rest.But only thing is that the resultant of all the forces is zero.So any force that can disturb the equilibrium can affect the equilibrium.
How do you know that forces are balanced when static friction acts on objects?
Static friction only acts upon objects at rest, otherwise it would be dynamic friction. An object at rest is known to have balancing forces, otherwise it would accelerate. This is Newton's Second Law of Motion.
What is the force that acts in an upward direction against the force of gravity so it makes an object lighter?
The force that acts in an upward direction to counteract the force of gravity and make an object feel lighter is called buoyancy. This force is exerted by a fluid (such as air or water) on an object immersed in it, pushing the object in the opposite direction of gravity.
Can a object be in mechanical equilibrium when only a single force acts on it?

Can an object be in mechanical equilibrium if only a single for acts on it?
No.
Can an object be in equilibrium if only one force acts upon it?
if only a single nonzero force acts on an object, its motion will change and will not be in mechanical equilibrium. There would have to be other forces to result in a zero net force for equilibrium.

A force that acts on an object does only when the object moves?
A force will produce acceleration when the object moves. force in the line of motion will increase the acceleration and the force opposite to the line of motion will decrease the acceleration.
Is it possible for an object to stay at rest when only one force acts on it and explain using the principles of uniform and uniformly motion?
no its not possible. if there is only one force acting on an object.

If only gravity and support force acts on the object what is the net force?
The net force is the sum of all the forces acting on an object. Weight pulls down, buoyancy pushes up. If an object weighs 50 N and the buoyancy force is 40 N, only 10 N is required to lift the object out of the water
What force acts on the object when it has been moved 4 meters?
The force that acts on an object when it has been moved 4 meters is the force that caused the object to move in the first place. This force can be gravity, friction, or a push/pull force applied by a person or machine.
Is upthrust a vector?
No, upthrust is not a vector. It is a force that acts in the opposite direction to the force of gravity on an object. It is a scalar quantity and only has a magnitude, not a direction.
