If a body returns to its original state of equilibrium after giving it a small displacement, the equilibrium is known as ______(a) Stable equilibrium(b) Unstable Equilibrium(c) Neutral Equilibrium(d) Simple equilibriumThis question was posed to me in examination.My doubt stems from Laws of Motion topic in portion Laws of Motion of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) Stable EQUILIBRIUM

Easy EXPLANATION: The BODY is said to be in the state of stable equilibrium if it returns to its original equilibrium after giving it a SLIGHT displacement. In UNSTABLE equilibrium, the body does not return to its original equilibrium and moreover also does not achieve any other equilibrium. In neutral equilibrium, the body attains a new equilibrium every time it is displaced.
