Equilibrium of a Particle & a Rigid Body Lecture 6
Equilibrium of a particle:
A particle at rest: A particle is at rest if originally at rest or has a constant velocity if
originally in motion.
A particle is in equilibrium: if the resultant of ALL forces acting on the particle is equal to
zero. (Newton’s first law is that a body at rest is not subjected to any unbalanced forces).
