The static equilibrium of a particle is an important concept in statics. A particle is in equilibrium only if the resultant of all forces acting on the particle is equal to zero. In a rectangular coordinate system the equilibrium equations can be represented by three scalar equations, where the sums of forces in all three directions are equal to zero. An engineering application of this concept is determining the tensions of up to three cables under load; for example, the forces exerted on each cable of a hoist lifting an object or of guy wires restraining a hot air balloon to the ground. An object acts like a particle if the forces all act at or through the centre of gravity and/or the object is not rotating.
