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.

The toy box has a mass of 35 kg (including the toys) and the child pulls with a force of 24 N at an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal (he is pulling mostly horizontally, but some of the force is pulling up). How will the normal force between the box and the ground change when the boy starts pulling?
