SECTION 3 Equilibrium In your textbook, read about the center of mass and how it affects stability. Write the term that correctiy completes the statement. The point on an object that moves in the same way that a point particle would move is the (1) of the object. To find the center of mass of an object, first suspend the object from (2) . When the object is not moving, draw a(n) (3) from the suspension point. Repeat this process using another (4) . The center of mass is the point at which (5) . The center of mass of an adult human who is standing with his or her arms hanging down is about halfway between the front and the back ofthe body, a few centimeters below the (6) In an unstable object, the center of mass is (7) the base of an object. However, an object is stable if a(n) (8) is required to tip it over. A force acts on an object and applies a(n) (9) on the object. The (10} of the object applies a torque in the opposite direction, as it acts on the (11) of the object. When the object tips enough that its center of mass is no longer above its (12) , both torques act in (13) direction(s), and the object tips over. A(n) (14) base results in a stable object. An object is also more likely to be stable if its center of mass is located (15) in the object. In your textbook, read about the conditions for equilibrium. Answer the foh'owfng questions. Use complete sentences. 16. What can be said about the velocity and angular velocity of an object that is in equilibrium? 17. When is an object in translational equilibrium? 6. A metal hoop has a diameter of 4.0 m and a mass of 1.2 kg with the axis of rotation through the central diameter. 7. A broom handle has a length of 1.67 m and a mass of 580 g with the axis of rotation through the center. 8. A piece ofaluminum foil has a length of7.2 cm, a width of 4.5 cm and a mass of 5.00 g with the axis of rotation through the center. 9. A 12cm slice of a tree trunk has a radius of 48 cm and a mass of 12 kg with the axis of rotation through the center. 10. A metal rod has a length of 1.3 m and a mass of 2.8 kg with the axis of rotation through the end. 11. A flat cookie sheet has a length 0135 cm, a width of 22 cm, and a mass of 467 g with the axis of rotation through the center. 12. A pencil lead has a mass of 0.66 g and a length of 12.6 cm with the axis of rotation through the center.
