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.

D. The meter stick has been cut in half. The right half is attached to a massless
frame that is free to rotate about the pivot. The 0.20 kg mass is suspended from
the left side of the frame 0.25 m from the pivot. Are the half meter stick, frame
and mass balanced? Explain.

A. A uniform meter stick of length L = 1.0 m has a 0.20 kg mass suspended by a
string from its left side, and rests on a triangular support that is 0.25 m from the
left side. If the meter stick is balanced what is its mass?
L
0.20 kg
B. What is the force exerted on the meter stick by the triangular support?
C. When an object is in static equilibrium, the total torque evaluated
around any point should equal zero. (Since it is not rotating, it shouldn't matter
where you choose the rotation axis.)
Can you show this is true for this meter stick? Write a list of the signs and
magnitudes of all the individual torques on the meter stick evaluated around the
following three points, and evaluate the sum in each case:
i.
The triangular support.
ii.
The far-left side of the meter stick, where the 0.20 kg mass is attached.
i.
The far-right side of the meter stick.
