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.

Textbook Question

Chapter 12, Problem 12.1OQ

The acceleration due to gravity becomes weaker by about three parts in ten million for each meter of increased elevation above the Earth's surface. Suppose a skyscraper is 100 stories tall, with the same floor plan for each story and with uniform average density. Compare the location of the building’s center of mass and the location of its center of gravity. Choose one: (a) Its center of mass is higher by a distance of several meters, (b) Its center of mass is higher by a distance of several millimeters, (c) Its center of mass and its center of gravity are in the same location, (d) Its center of gravity is higher by a distance of several millimeters, (e) Its center of gravity is higher by a distance of several meters.
