Mechanical equilibrium is:

- the state of rest or balance due to equal action of two opposite forces.

- the equal balance of any powers

What requirements should a system need in order to be in thermodynamic equilibrium?

A system should be in thermal equilibrium when it has a homogeneous temperature throughout, mechanical equilibrium when there is no net force acting on it, and chemical equilibrium when there are no gradients in chemical potential.


When do you have mechanical disadvantage?

Mechanical disadvantage occurs when the load is farther from the fulcrum than the input force. This results in the input force having to be greater than the load to achieve equilibrium or movement.


What is mean of dynamic equilibirum in chemistry?

An equilibrium is a "balance", if something is in equilibrium then it is in balance. To add "static" is an unnecessary tautology except in the case of a mechanical equilibrium with zero linear momentum.


Can an object be in equilibrium if the object is acted on by two forces that point in mutually perpendicular directions?

Yes, an object can be in equilibrium if it is acted on by two forces that point in mutually perpendicular directions. This is known as mechanical equilibrium, where the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object is zero, and the object does not accelerate.


Is internal equilibrium from quasi equilibrium?

No, internal equilibrium is not the same as quasi equilibrium. Internal equilibrium refers to a system being in a state where there is no net change in composition, while quasi equilibrium refers to a process that occurs almost at equilibrium, but not necessarily at the exact equilibrium point.

Is your weight a property of mechanical equilibrium?

Your weight is the gravitational attraction force between you and the Earth and not a property of mechanical equilibrium. Mechanical equilibrium is a state in which a momentum coordinate of a particle, rigid body, or dynamical system is conserved.

When all particles are distributed equally what are they are in?

When all particles are distributed equally, they are in a state of equilibrium. This means that there is no net flow of particles from one region to another, and the system is stable. Equilibrium can occur in various systems, such as thermal, chemical, or mechanical equilibrium.


What does it mean to say something is in mechanical equilibrium?

It means there are no unbalanced forces, or the net force is zero. That means if a t rest it will stay at rest, or if in motion it will stay in motion with no acceleration.It means that there is no net force acting on the object(s). A body moving at constant velocity is in mechanical equilibrium. A body that is not moving is in static equilibrium.


Difference between thermal energy and mechanical energy?

Mechanical energy concentrates on an object as a whole, and thermal energy concentrates on an object's actions. Additionally, Thermal energy depends on temperature and mechanical energy depends on kinetic and potential energy.


What are the factors affecting mechanical equilibrium physics?

Factors affecting mechanical equilibrium in physics include the forces acting on an object, the direction and magnitude of those forces, and the sum of all forces being equal to zero. Additionally, the location of the forces relative to the object's center of mass and the stability of the object's base can also influence mechanical equilibrium.
