1. Physics Chapter 6
Equilibrium

2. Equilibrium Defined: Object in equilibrium has no acceleration!
Two or more forces act concurrently and sum is zero
Net force is ZERO!
Object in equilibrium has no acceleration!
Note: This does NOT mean velocity is zero!

3. The Equilibrant Defined:
Vector (force) that would produce a net force of zero for a system of two or more forces that are NOT in equilibrium
Essentially equal in magnitude of resultant, but opposite in direction
If applied, the equilibrant would produce a net force of ZERO!
