Consider a body that returns to its original state of equilibrium after it is given a small compression. What can you say about the equilibrium of the body ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
- As the body returns to its original state of equilibrium, the body is in stable equilibrium.
- It would have been an unstable equilibrium if the body hadn't regained its original state of equilibrium.
- The body goes back to its original state of equilibrium so IT IS in equilibrium.
- It cannot be dynamic equilibrium as no mention of body in motion is made.
