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.

One end of a uniform meter stick is placed against a vertical wall. The other end is held by a lightweight cord that makes an angle 0 with the stick. The coefficient of static friction between the end of the meter stick and the wall is H, = 0.400. A. (2 points) What is the maximum value that 0 can have if the stick is to remain in equilibrium? Express your answer in degrees. B. (4 points) A block of the same weight as the meter stick is suspended from the stick at a distance x from the wall, as shown below.
