Uniform object - geometrical centre. Gravitational field strength, g, is the same everywhere for the body. Centre of Mass = Centre of gravity Centre of Mass Centre of gravity Object is so large that the gravitational field strength may not be the same everywhere over the body. 1 m
Force d d Lever d is always at right angles to the line of action of the force Torque Pivot Point Torque = F x d
If slightly pushed, and released; returns to its original position remains displaced continues to move and c of m lowers Stable equilibrium Neutral equilibrium Unstable equilibrium
