(N/A) particle is said to be in translational equilibrium if the net external force acting on it is zero.
Mathematically,this is expressed as:
$\sum \vec{F} = 0$
Where $\sum \vec{F}$ represents the vector sum of all external forces acting on the particle.
In terms of Cartesian components,this implies:
$\sum F_x = 0$,$\sum F_y = 0$,and $\sum F_z = 0$.
