BALANCE AND STABILITY

What is the reference to the ability of an object to its original position after it has been tilted slightly?

• Stability

• Equilibrium

• Center of Gravity

• Turning Effect

If we suspend a flat irregular solid at different positions, its center of gravity still along the:

• Plumb line

• Line of force

• Line of weight

• Gravity line

Which of the following is NOT part of States of Equilibrium?

• Stable equilibrium

• Regular equilibrium

• Unstable equilibrium

• Neutral equilibrium

If you place the pivot at the center of a meter stick, weight has NO:

• Property

• Concern

• Turning effect

• Magnitude

When an object is tilted slightly and it topples over, the state is termed?

• Unstable equilibrium

• Stable equilibrium

• Neutral equilibrium

• Regular equilibrium

The illustration shows a bunsen burner in 3 different positions. Which of these positions is the most stable?

• X

• Y

• Z

• W

The diagram shows an old fashioned balance used to measure weights . Where is the fulcrum located?

• Y

• W

• Z

• X

The point through which the whole weight of the body acts is called:

• Inertial point

• Center of gravity

• Centroid

• Equilibrium

Center of Gravity of an object depends on its:

• Weight

• Mass

• Density

• Shape

Center of Gravity is usually located where?

• more weight is concentrated

• less weight is concentrated

• less mass is concentrated

• more mass is concentrated
