In equilibrium, the TOTAL or not the NET force will always be zero. Because according to newton's law, if there is a net force, the object will experience acceleration.

Does the location of a moment matter in static equilibrium?

No, the location of a moment does not matter in static equilibrium as long as the total sum of moments acting on an object is zero. In static equilibrium, an object remains in a fixed position without rotating under the influence of external forces.


When a seesaw that is 6m long is balanced what is the upward force provided by the ground on the fulcrum?

The upward force provided by the ground on the fulcrum of a balanced 6m long seesaw would be equivalent to half of the total weight of the seesaw and any individuals on it. This is due to the principle of torques in static equilibrium where the clockwise and counterclockwise torques are equal.


At equilibrium the total amount of the products is what?

may be equal to, greater than, or less than the total amount of the reactants. (:


What is macro statics?

Macro Static investigation describes the static equilibrium situation of the financial system. It is defined object is to show a still picture of the economy as a whole, the macro static method is appropriate technique investigating the relation between macro-varibales in the final position of equilibrium without reference to the process of adjustment implicit in that final position". Such a final point of equilibrium may be shown by the equation Y=C+I where Y is the total income, C is the total consumption expenditure and I , the total investment expenditure. It simply shows the eternal identity equation without any adjusting mechanism.


What are the principles of equilibrium of forces?

When two forces are acting upon each other in equal proportions. That answer is misleading. Forces do not act on each other, and I don't know what the author means by "proportions" in this regard. An equilibrium of forces means that the net force on a given mass is zero. This happens when all of the external forces acting on an object are zero. From the formula F=ma, you can see that the net force being equal to zero implies that the acceleration is zero, and that the object's velocity is constant.


What is total force?

Total force refers to the combination of all forces acting on an object or system. It is the vector sum of all individual forces, taking into account both magnitude and direction. The total force determines the overall motion or equilibrium of the object.


Should one add static friction and kinetic friction together to find the total friction force?

No, static friction and kinetic friction are separate forces that act in different situations. When an object is at rest, static friction opposes the applied force. When the object is in motion, kinetic friction opposes the motion. To find the total friction force, you would just consider the friction force relevant to the situation.


What is the total displacement in one oscillation?

The total displacement in one oscillation is the maximum distance the object moves away from its equilibrium position in either direction before returning back to the equilibrium position. This total displacement is equal to twice the amplitude of the oscillation.


Does a object in mechanical equilibrium have zero acceleration?

By the definition of mechanical equilibrium, Yes. Because the sum of forces is equal to zero, it can be seen from the equation F=ma that the total acceleration on the object must be zero in order for the equation to hold. The mass is only a constant in this equation in this situation, and remains unchanged.


What does equilibrium mean?

What describes two phases in dynamic equilibrium?

Static balance - maintaining balance while holding a pose or remaining motionless (balance on one foot)dynamic balance - maintaining balance when in motion, starting, and stopping (balancing while walking on a balance beam)


Is a fan moving with uniform angular speed in a dynamic or static equilibrium?

A fan moving with uniform angular speed is in dynamic equilibrium. This is because even though the fan is rotating at a constant rate, there are still forces acting on it to keep it moving in a circular path, such as air resistance and friction.
