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.

Transcribed Image Text:The image is a diagram illustrating a boxed inclined plane scenario. There is a right triangle formed by a black vertical line and a horizontal base. An orange rectangle, representing a block, is placed on the inclined plane.
Key features of the diagram include:
- The angle between the inclined plane (orange line) and the horizontal base is marked as 60°, shown in blue.
- A red dot is placed at the center of the rectangle indicating a point of interest.
- A dashed gray line on the incline indicates a distance of \(0.2L\) from an unspecified reference point.
This diagram is typically used in physics to study forces and motion on inclined planes.
