When a system is in static equilibrium, the sum of the forces acting upon the system must equal zero. In the diagram below, forces F1 and F2 exert torques upon the system: Recall that a torque ( 𝛕 = Fr sin θ ) has the ability to make a system rotate, and it is theContinue reading “FORCE AND ACCELERATION: The Sum of all Torques Must Equal Zero”
