To determine The condition(s) for translational equilibrium . Explanation An object is considered to be in a translational equilibrium, if the object is at rest or moves with a constant velocity. Static translational equilibrium occurs when the object remains at rest. There will be several forces acting on the object without producing acceleration to the object where the acceleration becomes zero a → = 0 , thus Newton’s second law becomes zero. Therefore the conditions for the translational equilibrium is, ∑ F i = 0 ∑

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.
