| Title | Balancing Torques and Equilibrium |
| Description | This exercise takes a look at how forces affect objects when acting at the same time at points away from the center of gravity (point of balance) of an object. We will be examining the combined effects of torques in producing a dynamic "stable" equilibrium. In this lab we will make use of an online simulation application to conduct a series of exercises and complete a worksheet as described in the Lab Overview and Procedures Document. |
