1. A state in which all forces acting on an object are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in zero net force and no acceleration
The force balance on the bridge ensures it remains stable despite heavy traffic.
O equilíbrio de forças na ponte garante que ela permaneça estável apesar do tráfego intenso.
2. In physics and engineering, an analytical method or equation that sets the sum of forces equal to zero to solve for unknown variables
Using force balance equations, the engineer calculated the tension in the cables.
Usando equações de equilíbrio de forças, o engenheiro calculou a tensão nos cabos.
3. A condition of equilibrium where opposing forces cancel each other out
A force balance is achieved when the weight of the object equals the supporting force.
Um equilíbrio de forças é alcançado quando o peso do objeto é igual à força de suporte.
