Rotational Equilibrium

Rotational equilibrium occurs when an object is not turning or spinning because all the forces causing rotation are balanced. Imagine a seesaw perfectly level; the forces on both sides are equal, so it stays still. For an object, this means the sum of all torques (rotational forces) around any point equals zero. When this balance exists, the object remains steady with no angular acceleration, either at rest or rotating at a constant speed. In essence, rotational equilibrium keeps objects stable and prevents them from spinning or tumbling unexpectedly.
