==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
When an [[elastic]] [[object]] is acted on by two opposing [[force]]s, the object is in '''Equilibrium'''.
===About Force Equilibrium===
: [[Elastic]] [[object]]s like [[Coil Spring|springs]] need two opposing [[force]]s to change length. Once the forces have been applied the spring will stay at this new length until the [[force]]s are removed.

| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |The spring will stretch to a certain length and then stay the same due to two opposing [[force]]s.
|}
: If one [[force]] were bigger than the other the [[elastic]] [[object]] would [[accelerate]] rather than stretch.
