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.
What else can I help you with?
What are the force acting on a body at rest?
When a body is at rest, the forces acting on it are balanced. These can include gravitational force pulling the body downward and normal force exerted by the surface supporting the body. As long as these forces are equal and opposite, the body remains at rest.
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.
When can a body stay at rest even though forces act on it?
A body can stay at rest even though forces act on it when the forces acting on the body are balanced, meaning they cancel each other out. This balance of forces results in no net force acting on the body, allowing it to remain at rest.
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.
Can balance force bring a body to rest?
Balanced forces cannot bring a body to rest. Balanced forces can act on a body which is already at rest or in motion but equal forces cannot change a bodies acceleration, kinetic energy or momentum.
What are the force acting on a body at rest?
When a body is at rest, the forces acting on it are balanced. These can include gravitational force pulling the body downward and normal force exerted by the surface supporting the body. As long as these forces are equal and opposite, the body remains at rest.
What is the effect of force on bodies at rest?
The force accelerates the body, a=F/m.
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.

A body can stay at rest even though forces act on it when the forces acting on the body are balanced, meaning they cancel each other out. This balance of forces results in no net force acting on the body, allowing it to remain at rest.
What is the effect of normal force?
The normal force causes a body to move from its rest position and covers a distance.
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
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
Pressure is a force defined as what?
Force is that which changes, or tends to change, a state of rest or uniform motion of a body. Brent
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.
