State the conditions of equilibrium for a rigid body.
उत्तर
Conditions of equilibrium for a rigid body:

2. Center of gravity of the body should be as low as possible.
3. Vertical line drawn from the center of gravity should fall within the base of
support.
4. Vector sum of forces acting on the body should be zero.
5. Algebraic sum of moments acting on the body should be zero.
