Concept explainers

Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics

In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.

Equilibrium of Forces

The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.

Two children push on opposite sides of a door during play. Both push horizontally and perpendicular to the door. One child pushes with a force of 12.5 N at a distance of 0.750 m from the hinges, and the second child pushes at a distance of 0.550 m. What force must the second child exert to keep the door from moving? (assume friction is negligible)
It is sometimes important to determine the location of a person’s center of gravity(which coincides with the center of mass because the gravitational force is uniform at the scale of the human body). This can be done with the arrangement shown intheFigure below. A light (negligible mass) plank rests on two scales that read Fg1=380 N and Fg2=320 N. The scales are separated by a distance of 2.00 m. How far from the woman’s feet is her center of gravity?
