Equilibrium of coplanar force refers to a state in which all the forces acting on an object are balanced, resulting in a net force of zero. This means that the object will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line.
An object is in equilibrium of coplanar force if the sum of all the forces acting on it in any direction is equal to zero. This can be determined by using the principles of vector addition and resolving forces into their components.
No, an object cannot be in equilibrium of coplanar force if it is accelerating. This is because acceleration is caused by an unbalanced force, which means there is a net force acting on the object and it is not in equilibrium.
Static equilibrium of coplanar force refers to a state in which an object is at rest or moving at a constant velocity, while dynamic equilibrium refers to a state in which the object is moving at a constant velocity but with a changing direction. In both cases, the net force acting on the object is zero.
Equilibrium of coplanar force is directly related to Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia. This law states that an object will remain at rest or in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. In equilibrium, there is no net force acting on the object, so it will continue to maintain its state of motion.
