Stability curve

A stability curve is a graphical representation used to analyze how stable a system, structure, or object is under various conditions. It shows the relationship between forces acting on the system and its ability to maintain balance. For example, in engineering, it helps predict how buildings respond to wind or earthquakes. In everyday terms, think of it like a tightrope walker: the stability curve indicates the right position where they can stand steady without falling, demonstrating how small changes in their posture affect their security. Understanding this curve helps ensure safety and effectiveness in many applications.
