Does translational equilibrium mean? I think I'm getting this definition confused.
Is it when net F is zero, therefore constant velocity
or
Is it when net F is zero, therefore at rest or constant velocity |

| It is the later. Whenever the sum of forces is zero, it refers to inertia which means constant velocity (including zero velocity = at rest). |
