Physics - Static Equilibrium Practice Worksheet

Centre of gravity {Ans: The point where an object's mass and weight seem to be concentrated}How do you add vectors? {Ans: From tip to tail}Which type of movement describes torque? {Ans: Rotation}What is the objective of a imaginary pivot point? {Ans: It erases all forces at that point because the radius would then be equal to zero}Statics {Ans: The physics of how to keep an object still by applying forces to them}Rotation {Ans: Turn or rotate the object "in place"}Static Equilibrium {Ans: An objects state of motion when all forces acting on it are balanced}Translation {Ans: When an object moves from one place to another}What conditions must be necessary for static equilibrium? {Ans: 1. Torques must be balanced 2. Both components must be equal to zero}
