Conditions for static equilibrium Objects in static equilibrium don’t ______ or _______.
Conditions for static equilibrium (For ______ objects) 1. The net force acting on the particle must be _____. 2. The net torque about any axis acting on the particle must be ______. 3. The _______ and _______ speeds must be zero.
Conditions for static equilibrium (For extended objects) Is this object in static equilibrium? A force couple is acting on an object. A ___________ is a pair of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction along parallel lines of action
It matters at which point the force is applied!! If equal and opposite forces are applied at _________ points object is not in equilibrium, since there is a net torque. If equal and opposite forces are applied at the same ______ or along the same ________ object is in equilibrium
Conditions for static equilibrium (For extended objects) 1. The net force acting on the particle must be zero. 2. The net torque about any axis acting on the particle must be zero. 3. The angular and linear speeds must be zero. We restrict ourselves to forces in the x-y plane. Thus:
How do we treat the _______ force? Center of gravity Consider an extended object. - The gravitational force ___ always acts on the center of gravity! - The center of gravity is equal to the center of _______(Ch. 9. 2).
Examples of rigid objects in static equilibrium We will only consider objects that are ________ and in a ____________ gravitational field.
Balanced rock For this system to be in static equilibrium, the center of gravity must be directly over the support point. Why? ?
Problem-solving hints: Objects in static equilibrium 1. Draw a __________ diagram. - Show and label all the _______ forces acting on the object. - Indicate ______ the forces are applied. 2. Establish a convenient _______ system forces. Then apply condition 1: Net force must equal _____. 3. Establish a convenient ______ system for torque. Then apply condition 2: Net torque must equal _______.
Black board example 12. 1 A uniform 40. 0 N board supports a father (800 N) and daughter (350 N) as shown. The support is under the center of gravity of the board and the father is 1. 00 m from the center. (a) Determine the magnitude of the upward force n exerted on the board by the support. (b) Determine where the child should sit to balance the system.
Black board example 12. 2 HW 9 A diver of weight 580 N stands at the end of a 4. 5 m diving board of negligible mass (see Fig). The board is attached to two pedestals 1. 5 m apart.

Change in length. ________ MODULUS measures the resistance of a solid to a change in its length. 2. Shearing. _______ MODULUS measures the resistance to shearing. 3. Change in volume. ________ MODULUS measures the resistance to changes in volume.
