Definition of equilibrium in 1D

∑F=0\sum F = 0 (net/resultant force equals zero)

Formula for equilibrium

∑F=0\sum F = 0

Force balance in equilibrium (horizontal)

Fright=FleftF_{\text{right}} = F_{\text{left}}

Motion when forces are balanced

Stationary or constant velocity

Vertical equilibrium: book on table equation

W=NW = N (weight equals normal force)

What happens when forces are unbalanced?

Object accelerates

3030 N right, 1010 N left friction: net force?

2020 N to the right (not in equilibrium)

What does equilibrium help predict?

Whether object is stationary, constant velocity, or accelerates

Equilibrium occurs when forces...

Cancel each other out (no net force)
