Stable Equilibrium Points

A stable equilibrium point is a position where a system tends to stay or return to after being slightly disturbed. Imagine a ball resting in a smooth bowl: if you nudge it slightly, it rolls back to the bottom, its stable equilibrium. Similarly, in physics, an object or system at a stable equilibrium naturally returns to its original state when slightly pushed. It represents a state of balance, where small changes don’t lead to drastic shifts, ensuring the system remains steady over time.
