G. Equilibrium - resultant = 0 N
Ex 1)
At Equilibrium:
Fnet = 0, a = 0
Velocity is constant
Ex2) Could the forces of 8 N, 6 N and 4 N ever produce a state of equilibrium?
If so, find the resultant of the forces 4 N and 6 N.
Answer: Yes, resultant of the forces 4 and 6 would have to be 8 N
Ex 3) Could the angles of these forces ever be arranged to produce equilibrium?
NO
4 N and 5 N have a range of possible resultants of 1 N and 9 N
Could these forces ever
be in equilibrium?
No, 50 N & 15 N have a
range of 65 N - 35 N
Which diagram represents a box in equilibrium?
