When a mass suspended from a spring is in its equilibrium position the upward force exerted by the spring is equal to the downward force exerted by gravity acting on the mass?
Yes true
Will receptors for equilibrium work in space at zero gravity?
NO. the reason they would NOT work is because the receptors in the ear depend on gravity for them to be stimulated. the 3 semicircular canals are arrange at 90 degree angles to each other. they contain endolymph which move as your body moves stimulating the sensory hairs ( receptors) your brain them interprets the movements and sends signals to your muscles to adjust for the movements. every movement your body makes causes the endolymph to move stimulating the receptors which send impulses to the brain. then the brain interprets the movements and sends messages to the appropriated muscle groups to stabilize you. that's why when your drunk you cant balance as well because the ethane disrupts the normal functioning of the brain. If you are in zero gravity the receptors don't function effectively you lose equilibrium. THE LOSS OF EQUILIBRIUM CAUSES A FALLING SENSATION
What is the location of the receptors that respond to gravity?
utricle and saccule
What is gravity if it is not a force?
Gravity really is one of the four main forces of the Universe. gravity is an effect and not the cause of anything, no gravitation's, no gravity waves, none of it. gravity is a dynamic effect. the acceleration of the underlying for of energy focused to the center of a mass. there is no separate force called gravity, just a dynamic effect we call 'gravity'
If an object if in unstable equilibrium any displacement will?
If an object is in a state of unstable equilibrium, any displacement will lower that objects center of gravity.
What is rest position or equilibrium position?
Rest position or equilibrium position occurs when all the forces (gravity, the wind, friction etc) exerted on an object are equal.For example, a rolling ball is not in equilibrium because one or more forces (gravity or the force you used to initially move the ball) are greater in strength than the friction (both between the ball and the surface it is rolling on and between the ball and the air).The ball will stop rolling when the force causing it to move 'forwards' is overcome by frictional force. The ball will then be in equilibrium, or at rest.
What is a Equilibrium Position?
Equilibrium in chemistry is the point or position at which the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. Whatever concentrations exist at this point are referred to as equilibrium concentrations.
Why doesn't the sun increase in size?
It is in a state of dynamic equilibrium. The outwards force from the nuclear reaction in the core is balanced by the inward force of gravity. In fact as with many dynamic equilibria any star like the sun oscillates in size.

A persons sense of balance related to what?
It is associated with your inner ear.You have three semicircular canals in your inner ear. They are placed at right angle to each other. Fluid is partly filled in these canals. By appreciating the fluid level in these canals you appreciate the sense of balance or equilibrium..
Why is it difficult to balance the pole end of a broom on the palm of your hand?
A pole is a uniform body and so its center of gravity is somewhere in the middle. By keeping the pole vertical you are keeping the center of gravity at the highest position( relative to the hand)- this is unstable equilibrium. Hence the pole will tend to achieve stable equilibrium( ie. to fall flat to the ground).Remember- higher the center of gravity, more unstable
Explain the difference between static equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium?
A chair has static equilibrium ... a bicycle has dynamic equilibrium.Dynamic implies movement while staticimplies stationary, but that is a bit misleading. Take an object traveling with a constant velocity in deep space (no air resistance and no gravity). It could be viewed as being as much at rest as an object sitting on a table. The mathematical or chemical use of equilibrium is better. In these cases there is no net change over time even though energy maybe expended. If a steady-state situation in which a reverse process is occurring has a corresponding forward process, at a rate which achieves an exact balance, it is said to be in dynamic equilibrium. With regard to the pressure and volume of water sealed in an exhausted vessel at a constant temperature, a balanced state of constant change is possible in which molecules are constantly being exchanged between ice, water, and water vapour phases. By definition this balanced state of constant change is dynamic equilibrium. Static equilibrium can refer to a steady-state situation with no dynamic forces acting on its potential energy in either reverse or forward processes. By definition, in a state of staticequilibrium there is balance, but no change, disturbance or movement.

Does it do more then the back?
It is more difficult to lean backwards because the centre of gravity of the body lower and unstable equilibrium establishes and difficult to come back to original position. SLPS director
Stellar equilibrium relies on fusion and gravity to maintain stars in their current form?
Yes, a stable star is in equilibrium, called hydrostatic equilibrium, when the outward pressure from heat caused by core fusion processes balances the inward pull of gravity. There are other factors which alter the form of stars such as their rotation or gravity from external sources such as a nearby mass.
