... equilibrium: Points of equilibrium are where the force is zero (slope = zero). x3 and x5 are points of stable equilibrium or energy wells. If the system is slightly displaced to either side the forces on either side will return the object back to these positions. x6 is a position of neutral equilibr ...

Class Notes
... An object's weight, W, acts perpendicular to the surface of the earth because the gravitational force acting on it is directed toward the center of the earth. W is represented with a vertical line drawn downward. If the object rests on an inclined plane, the weight can be resolved into two compo ...
