Forces can be arranged so that they balance, known as static equilibrium. There are two conditions for static equilibrium: 1) the sum of clockwise moments equals the sum of anticlockwise moments, meaning no net moment, and 2) the sum of forces in one direction equals the forces in the opposite direction, meaning no net force. Moment is defined as the turning effect of a force and is calculated as force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of force.
