Think of a body that is at rest but not in equilibrium.

Difficulty: Easy

Rest implies stationary equilibrium implies a resultant force of zero. Therefore, a body in equilibrium could be moving. For example a skydiver at terminal velocity, where resistive forces are equal to the force of gravity. This means that a body can be in equilibrium and not at rest, but a body at rest must be in equilibrium. Otherwise, it would move so to answer the question: it is impossible.
