Static equilibrium is a state in which an object is at rest and all forces acting on it are balanced. This means that there is no acceleration or movement in any direction.
To calculate static equilibrium, you need to determine the sum of all the forces acting on the object (known as the net force) and the sum of all the torques (rotational forces) acting on the object. If both of these values are equal to zero, then the object is in static equilibrium.
The conditions for static equilibrium are that the net force acting on the object must be equal to zero and the net torque acting on the object must also be equal to zero. This means that the object is not moving or rotating, as all forces and torques are balanced.
In static equilibrium, an object is considered to be stable because it is not moving or rotating. If any external force or torque is applied to the object, it will still remain in its original position due to the balanced forces and torques.
Examples of static equilibrium in everyday life include a book resting on a table, a ladder leaning against a wall, or a statue standing on its own. In all of these cases, the object is not moving or rotating, and the forces and torques are balanced.
