Two identical heavy spheres are seperated by distance 10 times their radius. Will an object placed at the mid point of the line joining their centres be in a stable equilibrium or unstable equilibrium ? Give reason for your answer.
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.
Two identical heavy spheres are seperated by distance 10 times their radius. Will an object placed at the mid point of the line joining their centres be in a stable equilibrium or unstable equilibrium ? Give reason for your answer.

The force on the object placed at midpoint due to the both spheres is,

Now considering the object is moving towards right by a distance r.
Now the force acting towards left side sphere is,
