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.

An equal arm balance is made by placing a meter stick at its center so it looks like a seesaw. The first mass m=3 kg is hung at r= 0.25 m To the left of the center. A second mass equaling 1.4 kg is hung at 0.4 m to the right of the center. At what location with respect to the center of the meter stick must a third mass of 0.8 kg be hung for the meter stick to be in equilibrium? to the left of the center. A second mass equaling 1.4 kg is hung at 0.4 m to the right of the center. At what location with respect to the center of the meter stick must a third mass of 0.8 kg be hung for the meter stick to be in equilibrium? (All angles are 90 degrees)
An 8.00 m long beam with a mass of 8.70 kg is suspended horizontally from a post, as shown. The left end of the beam is attached to a frictionless hinge on the vertical post that allows the beam to rotate up and down freely. The right end of the beam is supported by a wire that runs to the top of the post. The wire makes a 50° angle with the vertical post. The beam's shape is symmetric and it is made of a homogeneous material so that its center of mass is located at its geometric center. What tension in the wire is required to support the beam horizontally?
