Static Equilibrium, Elasticity, and Torque > Conditions for Equilibrium

First Condition
There are two conditions that must be met for equilibrium.
The same conditions apply both to static equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium.
If net force is zero, then net force along any direction is zero.

Static Equilibrium, Elasticity, and Torque > Conditions for Equilibrium

Second Condition
The second condition necessary to achieve equilibrium involves avoiding
accelerated rotation.
A rotating body or system can be in equilibrium if its rate of rotation is constant
and remains unchanged by the forces acting on it.
The magnitude of torque about a axis of rotation is defined to be =rFsin.

Static Equilibrium, Elasticity, and Torque > Conditions for Equilibrium

Two-Component Forces
In equilibrium, the net force in all directions is zero.
If the net moment of inertia about an axis is zero, the object will have no
rotational acceleration about the axis.

Static Equilibrium, Elasticity, and Torque

Key terms
equilibrium The state of a body at rest or in uniform motion, the resultant of all forces on which is zero.
equilibrium The state of a body at rest or in uniform motion, the resultant of all forces on which is zero.
force A physical quantity that denotes ability to push, pull, twist or accelerate a body which is measured in a unit dimensioned
in mass distance/time (ML/T): SI: newton (N); CGS: dyne (dyn)
torque A rotational or twisting effect of a force; (SI unit newton-meter or Nm; imperial unit foot-pound or ft-lb)
torque A rotational or twisting effect of a force; (SI unit newton-meter or Nm; imperial unit foot-pound or ft-lb)
translation Motion of a body on a linear path, without deformation or rotation, i.e. such that every part of the body moves at the
same speed and in the same direction; also (in physics), the linear motion of a body considered independently of its rotation.

Static Equilibrium, Elasticity, and Torque

Static Equilibrium
This motionless person is in static equilibrium. The forces acting on him add up to zero. Both forces are vertical in this case.

Static Equilibrium, Elasticity, and Torque

Dynamic Equilibrium
This car is in dynamic equilibrium because it is moving at constant velocity. There are horizontal and vertical forces, but the net external force in any
direction is zero. The applied force Fapp between the tires and the road is balanced by air friction, and the weight of the car is supported by the normal
forces, here shown to be equal for all four tires.
