1. A state in which all acting forces are balanced, resulting in no net force and no acceleration
The equilibrium of forces on the bridge ensures its structural stability.
O equilíbrio de forças na ponte garante sua estabilidade estrutural.
2. In mechanics, the condition where the sum of all forces equals zero
Engineers calculate the equilibrium of forces to prevent the structure from collapsing.
Os engenheiros calculam o equilíbrio de forças para evitar o colapso da estrutura.
3. A state of balance in which opposing forces counteract each other
The equilibrium of forces between gravity and air resistance determines the terminal velocity.
O equilíbrio de forças entre a gravidade e a resistência do ar determina a velocidade terminal.
