What is translational equilibrium and rotational equilibrium |
| Answer» An object is in translational equilibrium when the sum of all the external forces acting on the object equals zero. This also means an object is in translational equilibrium when it is experiencing zero overall acceleration. Therefore, it is either not moving or moving at a constant velocity.Rotational equilibrium an object is in rotational equilibrium when the sum of all the external torques acting on it equals zero. In rotational equilibrium, an object either will not be moving or moving at a constant angular velocity. This must mean the object is experiencing zero angular acceleration. | |
