For a body in
equilibrium (not
in motion)
subjected to
some external
forces Pi, there
are internal
forces developed
within the body.

Since the body was initially in equilibrium,
half of this
body should also be in equilibrium.
The internal forces are derived from the equilibrium
equations and can be defined as the forces to bring the
body to equilibrium.
Remember force is a vectorical quantity which has a
magnitude and direction.
