In the TBR, it says for a rigid body to be at rest, both translation acceleration and rotational accleration must be 0.
For a rigid body to be in equilibrium, both net torque and net force must be 0.
What is the difference? I thought if Net force and torque are both 0, then the acceleration is also 0.. so isn't it saying rest = equilibrium?
EDIT: just noticed i posted in the wrong place -_-, should be in Q/A
