posture
When an object is balanced, all torques acting on it are even,
and it is in a state of equilibrium relationship between
centre of gravity (COG) and base of support (BOS)
Gravitational force is always directed vertically downward toward the
center of the earth. Practically speaking, gravitational force is always
directed toward the ground
Base of support (BOS) is that part of a body that is in contact with the
supporting surface.
