    Of course it is!

    - - Whatever the resultant of four of the forces is, one more force

    with the same magnitude in exactly the opposite direction makes

    the overall net force zero.

    - - Example:

    4 cheerleaders are in a tug-of-war against the captain of the football team.

    The flag in the middle of the rope is stationary.

    He's holding off all 4 of the skinny girls.

    The net force on the flag is zero.

    No. If there are forces on an object, they need to have a counterforce, otherwise the object won't be zero. Since there are only 5 forces, the 5th force has no counterforce, resulting in movement or reforming the object.
