18. Stability and Equilibrium  An object balanced so that any displacement lowers its center of gravity is in unstable equilibrium.  An object balanced so that any displacement raises its center of gravity is in stable equilibrium.  An object that is balanced so that any displacement neither raises or lowers its center of gravity is in neutral equilibrium.  An object with a low center of gravity is usually more stable than an object with a nigh center of gravity.  If the center of gravity extends beyond the support base of an object, the object will topple.
