A condition in which all acting influences are canceled by others resulting is a stable, unchanging, balanced system.
The introduction of a factor will cause the state to change until equilibrium is again reached.

Equilibrium in reality is a dynamic balancing of a System. It is not really static. When a system has reached some form of balance it is said that its in Steady State.
A simple example to show this phenomenon is a fish tank with a partion with a small hole . Both sides can house nine fish. however there comes a time where an equilibrium need to be reached to house the fish on both sides equally. Four fish would be on one side but five would be on the other side.. Then one fish would go thru the hole and not the side that had four now has five. This is dynamic equilibrium.
We cannot determine the exact equilibrium by counting the fish on one side of the fish tank on one side without upsetting the other side.
This is Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

When the sum of the forces which act on the particle is equal to zero. And the sum of the torque is equal to zero. We can say the particle is in equilibrium.

equal weight is called equilibrium

A body is said to be in equillibrium, if it is at rest under a system of forces acting on it.
