EquilibriumThe Physical Study of Balance
Conditions for equilibriumSum of forces is zeroTendency to rotate is zero
Torque
the effectiveness of a force in causing rotation on a rigid object
also called moment of force
Rigid Object vs. Point/Particle Model
Prerequisite Observation for 2nd Condition
Which of the following forces will effectively rotate the beam at point O?
Prerequisite Observation for 2nd Condition
Which of the following forces will effectively rotate the beam at point O?
Prerequisite Observation for 2nd Condition
Which of the following forces will effectively rotate the beam at point O?
Prerequisite Observation for 2nd Condition
Which of the following forces will effectively rotate the beam at point O?
Factors that determine torque The amount of force perpendicular to the lever arm. The distance of the force from the pivot point.
Guidelines for Problem Solving Illustrate all the forces and the lever arm for
each. Torque is the product of force and its distance
from the point of rotation. Force and the lever arm must always be
perpendicular. Establish the point of rotation. Equate the sum of forces to zero. Equate the sum of torques to zero.
Exercise
A 50.0 N uniform beam, 10.0 m in length, is suspended on a support as shown. If the fulcrum divides the beam into the ratio of 2:3, where should a 6.00 kg object be placed to balance the beam?

Exercise
In a Singkil dance, two men are carrying a princess on a bamboo pole that is 5.00 m long and weighs 200.0 N. If the princess weighs 425 N and sits 1.50 m from one end, how much weight must each man support?
Exercise
(Follow up) Where should the princess sit so that one man
supports her with a force twice that of the other?

ExercisesA uniform aluminum beam 9.00 m long, weighing 300 N, rests symmetrically on two supports 5.00 m apart. A boy weighing 600 N starts at point A and walks toward the right. From your diagram, how far beyond point B can the boy
walk before the beam tips?
