Answer

The answer is given below.

Work Step by Step

The body is in equilibrium when the net external force & torque on it are both zero. (1)$\space \sum\vec F_{i}=0$ ; The net external force on a system must be zero. (2)$\space \sum \vec \tau_{i}=\sum(\vec r_{i}\times\vec F_{i})=0$ ; The net external torque must also be zero.
