Center of Gravity
The location where all

How do we locate the C.G?
For a regularly-shaped object, it is at its
geometric center.

3 FACTORS FOR STABILITY
1. Mass of the object
2. Location of the center of gravity
3. Area of the base of support

STATIC EQUILIBRIUM
A state of balance of an object at

A condition in which all forces
acting on the body are balanced,

STATIC EQUILIBRIUM
The body must be in translational
equilibrium or the body does not
accelerate along any line.
If the acceleration is zero, then
the resultant of the forces acting
on the body is also zero.
The First Condition of Equilibrium:
If the sum of all forces acting
concurrently on a body is equal to zero,
then the body must be in static
equilibrium. Mathematically:
F = Fnet = 0
Fx = 0 and Fy = 0
