It is in equilibrium when the two conditions are satisfied - there is no net translational equilibrium and no net rotational equilibrium. For translational equilibrium, the summation of forces acting on the matter must equate to zero, which means that there is no resultant force. For rotational equilibrium, the sum of moments must be zero, which means there is no resultant torque. When these two conditions are met, the object will be stationary, i.e. it is in a state of equilibrium.

Are all objects at equilibrium stable?

No, not all objects at equilibrium are stable. There are two types of equilibrium: stable equilibrium, where a system returns to its original state when disturbed, and unstable equilibrium, where a system moves away from its original state when disturbed. Objects at unstable equilibrium are not stable.


What are the conditions that determine whether a system is in stable, unstable, or neutral equilibrium?

The conditions that determine whether a system is in stable, unstable, or neutral equilibrium depend on how the system responds to disturbances. In stable equilibrium, the system returns to its original state after a disturbance. In unstable equilibrium, the system moves further away from its original state after a disturbance. In neutral equilibrium, the system remains in its new state after a disturbance.


Is the ball equilibrium?

It depends on the context. If the ball is not moving and is at rest, then it is in a state of equilibrium. If the ball is in motion but not accelerating or decelerating, it could also be considered in equilibrium.


What are the differences between stable equilibrium and unstable equilibrium in a system?

In a system, stable equilibrium occurs when a small disturbance causes the system to return to its original state. Unstable equilibrium, on the other hand, occurs when a small disturbance causes the system to move away from its original state.

When it lies on the floor, it can't get any lower. Nothing more can happen unless you add energy. And "nothing less to happen" is a decent definition of equilibrium.

What is the types of equilibrium?

There are three types of equilibrium: stable equilibrium, where a system returns to its original state after a disturbance; unstable equilibrium, where a system moves further away from its original state after a disturbance; and neutral equilibrium, where a system remains in its new state after a disturbance.


How does the concept of reversibility explain the establishment of equilibrium?

Equilibrium is a state of balance. When one factor increases, it would also be necessary for an opposing factor to increase to maintain balance. Reversibility allows for the decrease of factors to maintain this level.
