    Stability

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses factors that affect the stability of objects, including having a low center of gravity and a wide base area. A stable object is in a point of equilibrium. The lower the center of gravity and the wider the base area, the more stable an object will be. Examples given include race cars having a low center of gravity and animals like rhinos and elephants having short, wide legs to lower their center of gravity and increase stability.
