introduce internal stresses

balance the other forces acting on it

retard its motion

all of these

if any number of forces acting at a point can be represented by the sides of a polygon taken in order, then the forces are in equilibrium

if any number of forces acting at a point can be represented in direction and magnitude by the sides of a polygon, then the forces are in equilibrium

if a polygon representing forces acting at a point is closed then forces are in equilibrium

if any number of forces acting at a point can be represented in direction and magnitude by the sides of a polygon taken in order, then the forces are in equilibrium

direction

position or line of action

all of these

not a replace them by a single force
