Static Equilibrium
Static equilibrium refers to a state in which an object remains motionless and stable under the influence of balanced forces. It is a fundamental concept in physics and engineering, crucial for understanding the stability of structures and systems. In static equilibrium, the net force acting on the object is zero, and there is no tendency for it to accelerate or rotate. This equilibrium condition is achieved when all external forces and torques cancel each other out, resulting in a state of balance. Understanding static equilibrium is essential for designing and analyzing various mechanical systems and structures.
