Are the hangging paperclips moving or at rest

Answer:
You can never really ‘have’ a physical force. You apply forces onto systems (or objects) that causes a change in motion (so long as they are not balanced by some reactive force, like trying to open a jammed door, or use a key on a lock it was not designed to open).

You apply forces onto systems (or objects) that causes a change in motion (so long as they are not balanced by some reactive force, like trying to open a jammed door, or use a key on a lock it was not designed to open).So, what forces keep a hanging object from falling? Well you can follow a chain of forces all the way to the Earth’s core if you want, but the most immediate force is the one applied by whatever string or other object is holding the object up. It isn’t falling, and so it forces the object to stay with it, balancing (and reacting to) the gravitational force pulling downwards on the object, causing the object to remain suspended and in an equilibrium (it’s not accelerating; in this case, the object is still or ‘at rest’ and is not starting to move. Some wind can change this).
