BALANCE AND STABILITY Flashcards
All the particles of an obj is concentrated at one point
CENTER OF GRAVITY
Irregular shapes
NONUNIFORM OBJS
nonuniform obj can be determined by using the _
PLUMB LINE METHOD
The CG is neither lowered nor raised when the obj is slightly disturbed
NEUTRAL EQUILIBRIUM
The CG is directly below the _
PIVOT POINT
regular shapes
UNIFORM OBJS
Net force acting on it is zero
TRANSLATIONAL EQUILIBRIUM
If the obj is in uniform motion (velocity is constant)
DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM
The body is at rest
STATIC EQUILIBRIUM
No forces pushing or pulling them
STATIC EQUILIBRIUM
The obj is either at rest or in motion at a constant speed along a straight line
TRANSLATIONAL EQUILIBRIUM
Forces whose lines of action meet at a common point
CONCURRENT FORCES
Forces can cause OBJS to rotate
TORQUE
Is also called moment of force
