Q

Equilibrium definition

A

An object at rest is in equilibrium.

30
Q

Key conditions for an object to be in equilibrium

A
  • The resultant force on the object is zero (all forces are the same).
  • The forces acting on the object have no overall turning effect.
31
Q

Centre of mass definition

A

The point at which the whole mass of an object is concentrated.

32
Q

Describe the experiment to find the centre of mass of simple shapes

A

Hang a plumbline and the shape on a clamp. Allow the plumbline to naturally hang downwards. Once the plumbline has stopped moving, accurately draw a line following it. Do this multiple times on different points of the shape. Wherever all the lines meet is the centre of mass.

33
Q

What is resultant force

A

The single sum of all the forces
