Explain three modes of equilibrium conditions
Answers
Answer:
There are three types of equilibrium: stable, unstable, and neutral
Explanation:
When a Particle is displaced slightly from a position and a force acting on it brings it back to the initial position, it is said to be in stable Equilibrium.
When a particle is displaced slightly from a piston and force acting on it tries to displace the particular further away from the Equilibrium position, it is said to be in Unstable Equilibrium.
In the neutral Equilibrium potential energy is constant. When a particle is displaced from its position it does not experience any force acting on it and continues to be in equilibrium in the displaced position. This is said to be in neutral Equilibrium.
Answer:
A solid body submitted to three forces whose lines of action are not parallel is in equilibrium if the three following conditions apply : The lines of action are coplanar (in the same plane) The lines of action are convergent (they cross at the same point) The vector sum of these forces is equal to the zero vector.
