Interpreting the question as follows... "When is an object in equilibrium according to its component forces?"
When all component forces cancel leaving no resultant force.
For example - If Joe pulls on a crate with a force of 10 Newtons North, and Sally pulls on the same crate at the same time with a force of 10 Newtons South then all of the component forces combine to give a resultant force of zero. Thus the crate is in equilibrium. Math: 10 + (-10) = 0

When is an object in equilibrium?
When the forces acting on the object are stable
What is an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium?
what is an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium
When the net forces on an object are not zero?
When the sum of the net forces on an object are not zero, it means that the object is being moved/pushed/pulled. It means that the object is not in equilibrium. If the net forces were zero, then the object would be in equilibrium, or, a state of not moving at all.
What is a state in which all forces acting on an object are in balance?
Equilibrium is a state in which all forces acting on an object are in balance.
How do you know that the forces acting on an object are balanced?
The object will be in both rotational and translational equilibrium and will not be moving.

Can an object be in equilibrium if the object is acted on by two forces that point in directions that are not perpendicular?
Yes. To be in equilibrium, the forces must not be perpendicular - they must point in opposite directions.
What is a state in which all forces acting on an object are in balance?
Equilibrium is a state in which all forces acting on an object are in balance.
What are the examples of static equilibrium of concurrent forces?
In any situation in which an object doesn't move, it is in equilibrium.
When the net force of an object is not 0 the forces on the object are what?
The forces are not in equilibrium and there is a resultant(net, unbalanced) force on the object.
When all the forces acting on an object balance each other the object will be in this state?
equal or equilibrium
How do you know that the forces acting on an object are balanced?
The object will be in both rotational and translational equilibrium and will not be moving.
If an object is at rest all forces acting on that object must be?
in equilibrium with a net force of zero
What is An object moving at a constant speed means it is?
It is in Equilibrium and there are no forces acting on it.
An object is in When opposing forces acting on balance each other?
equilibrium
