A rigid body is in a state of balanced mechanical when , relative to an inertial reference frame 1 .

Linear acceleration of the center of mass is zero . 2 . Acceleration of any angle around the axis remains in the frame of reference is also zero . The above requirement does not require that the object is at rest , because the first requirement allows objects center of mass moving with constant velocity , while the second requirement allows objects rotating at a constant angular veloc ity of rotation as well . When truly stationary objects ( relative to a frame of reference ) , ie when the linear velocity of the center of mass and the angular velocity of rotation abou t any axis fixed , both are zero , then the rigid body is said to be in static e quilibrium . When a rigid body is in equilibrium static , then both the above re quirements for the mechanical balance will ensure items remain in a state of bal anced static . The first requirement is equivalent to the requirement that the t otal external force acting on a rigid body is zero While the second requirement is equivalent to the requirement that the total ext ernal torque acting on a rigid body is zero In this case that will be reviewed is the balance in the rigid body under the in fluence of an external force is conservative . Because his style is a conservati ve force , then there is a relationship between the force exerted by the potenti al energy , Equilibrium state occurs when the value of Fx = 0 , this condition is none other than the extreme conditions for the potential energy function U ( x ) . Let's s ay this balanced point we choose as the position x = 0 . Potential energy functi on can be expanded If a2 > 0 then a small shift of the point of balance, bring back to a style that directs the balanced point . This equilibrium is called stable equilibrium . If a2 > 0 then shift slightly from the point of balance, bring style to distance from the point of imbalance . This equilibrium is called unstable equilibrium . If a2 = 0 then shift slightly from the point of balanced not bring up the style . This equilibrium is called neutral equilibrium . A rigid body can undergo translational motion ( rectilinear motion ) and the mot ion of rigid rotasi.Benda will perform translational motion when the force exert ed on bendatepat about a point called the center of gravity . Objects will be ba lanced if pasdiletakkan dititik beratnya.Titik weight is the point where the obj ect will be in equilibrium rotation ( no rotation experience ) . At the time of experiencing rigid body translational motion and rotasisekaligus , then at that time the center of gravity will act as the axis of rotation and lintasangerak of this emphasis translasinya.Untuk describe trajectories of objects in the form o f a line ( one dimension ) , where the emphasis is in the middle of the line . S uppose a wire with panjang6m , the emphasis is on distance of 3m from ujungnya.L etak or position of the center of gravity is located at the intersection of diag onal homogeneous space for objects regularly shaped , and lies at the intersecti on of the two lines garisvertikal for arbitrary objects . C. Tools and Materials : cardboard scissors thread needle Statip pencil D. How it Works : Prepare five shapes of objects made of cardboard . Make three or more holes in the cardboard to the outskirts of distance . Hang a piece of cardboard with a hole 1 on the needle entering the tepasang in s

tatip . Hang the yarn also been given a weight on the needle . If sudang balanced , draw a line which coincides with the threads on the cardboa rd . Repeat steps 3 , 4 , and 5 for the next hole . If done carefully , it is found that the three lines on the piece tersebutbertem u at one point . The point is called the center of gravity . Repeat on the cardboard to the shape and size of the other E. Data Analysis .

F. Discussion . Based upon the results of lab work that has been done all the good things that o bjects have regular or irregular gravity and center of mass . The weight of an o bject is not always in the middle of the field . The focus of the calculation re sults with the results of different measurements it is because the object has a cavity . Examples of the use of gravity in everyday life is a seesaw , porters , and other scales . G. Conclusion . Extent of any good thing which is irregular or irregular , have gravity and cent er of mass . It may not be the same location between each other . Although , the same objects observed irregular objects but will not be the same between the he avy line , for example : a triangle and a square , would not obtain the same loc ation even though both irregular objects
