EQUILIBRIUM
APPLICATION OF THE FIRST LAW
STATIC EQUILIBRIUM• A state of balance of an object at
rest.• A condition in which all forces
acting on the body are balanced, causing the body to remain at rest.
What is equilibrium?
HOW DO WE KNOWIF THE OBJECT IS
IN EQUILIBRIUM?
CENTER OF GRAVITY
Center of Gravity
•The location where all of the weight of an object seemed to be concentrated.
How do we locate the C.G?
• For a regularly-shaped object, it is at its geometric center.

• Sometimes the C.G. is found outside the body.
How do we locate the C.G?
C.G
• For an irregularly-shaped object,• it could be determined by balancing it by
trial and error method or by the plumb bob method
Locating the C.G. of Irregularly-shaped object
Assignment: In one long folder, draw the island of Luzon. Cut it out and locate its center of gravity. Mark it with a pen. At the back of the cut-out folder, write how you determined the location of the C.G.
STATES OF EQUILIBRIUM
Any object at rest may be in one of three states of equilibrium.
• STABLE• UNSTABLE and• NEUTRAL
STABLE EQUILIBRIUM
• the C.G. is at lowest possible position.• the C.G. needs to be raised in order to topple
the object.• they are difficult to topple over.
For stable objects:
UNSTABLE EQUILIBRIUM
• the C.G. is at the highest possible position.• the C.G. is lowered in order to topple the object.• They are easy to topple down.
For unstable objects:
NEUTRAL EQUILIBRIUM
• the C.G. is neither lowered nor raised when the object is toppled.
• they roll from one side to another.
For objects with neutral equilibrium:

requires a relatively large raising of its C.G.

3 FACTORS FOR STABILITY1. Mass of the object2. Location of the center of gravity3. Area of the base of support

STATIC EQUILIBRIUM• A state of balance of an object at
rest.• A condition in which all forces
acting on the body are balanced, causing the body to remain at rest.

STATIC EQUILIBRIUM• The body must be in translational
equilibrium or the body does not accelerate along any line.
• If the acceleration is zero, then the resultant of the forces acting on the body is also zero.
The First Condition of Equilibrium:If the sum of all forces acting
concurrently on a body is equal to zero, then the body must be in static equilibrium. Mathematically:
ΣF = Fnet = 0
ΣFx = 0 and ΣFy = 0
