Conditions for equilibrium require that the sum of all external forces acting on the body is zero, and the sum of all external torques from external forces is zero. The free-body diagram for a body is a useful tool that allows us to count correctly all contributions from all external forces and torques acting on the body.

(b) When torque of a force causes clockwise rotation about the axis, we say that its sense is negative, which means the torque vector is antiparallel to the axis of rotation.
