Answer
(a) In beam balance when the beam is balanced in a horizontal position, it is in static equilibrium. The clockwise and anticlockwise moments balance each other hence the beam has no rotational motion and it is in static equilibrium.
(b) A plane moves at a constant height when upward lift on it balances its weight acting downwards. It is due to dynamic equilibrium of forces.
