  11. The condition of a system in which competing influences are balanced, resulting in no net change; The state of a body at rest or in uniform motion in which the resultant of all forces on it is zero; The state of a reaction in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are the same; ...
  12. a condition of relative balance in which the forces of lift and gravity are equal.
  13. The state in which the action of multiple forces produces a steady balance or seeming lack of change; may be due to a true stop in action or due to continuing actions which neutralize each other resulting in no net change.
  14. A situation in which the quantities demanded and supplied in a market are equal. Equilibrium exists when forces that cause changes in the market are in balance so that there is no tendency for the market price to change.

  21. A state of rest defined by Newton's second law.
  22. In geology, a balance between form and process. For example the resistance of rocks along a coast and the erosional force of waves.
  23. A challenging yet essential term to define in thermodymamics. Generally refers to a state of a system that does not change with time; in particular all the state variables remain constant. ...
  24. A state or condition where opposing forces or offsetting influences are exactly equal and thus in balance, i.e., a state of rest or inaction. Equilibrium can exist only so long as there are no new data, forces or influences capable of changing or disturbing existing conditions. ...
  25. A system is said to be at equilibrium (with respect to some set of feasible transformations) if it has minimal free energy. A system containing objects at different temperatures is in disequilibrium, because heat flow can reduce the free energy. ...
