Consider an extended object (not a point), with forces F~ acting on it, producing torques ~. Is it possible for a situation to exist in which the net force acting on the object (the net force is the sum of all the individual forces acting on the object) is equal to zero XF~ =0 while the net torque about any axis (the net torque is the sum of all the torques acting on the object) is not equal to zero X~ 6=0?
