AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based›Unit 5: Torque and Rotational Dynamics›Torque and Rotational Dynamics

Rotational Equilibrium

An object stays balanced when both net force and net torque are zero, which is how you solve seesaw and beam problems.

Net torque = 0
Choosing a pivot
Static equilibrium problems
