Question

What are the two types of equilibrium?

Answer 1

1. There are two types of equilibrium - translational equilibrium and rotational equilibrium.
2. Transnational equilibrium : An object said to be transnational equilibrium if the sum of all forces acting on it zero
3. $$\begin{gathered} Nettranslationalforceiszero \\ \sum _{}F=0 \end{gathered}$$
4. Rotational equilibrium: An object said to be rotational equilibrium if the sum of all torques acting on it zero
5. $$\begin{gathered} Netrotationalforceiszero \\ \sum _{}\tau =0 \end{gathered}$$
