5 force causes the center of gravity of the body to rise, tWequilibrium is stable; while if it causes the center ofgravity to fall, the equilibrium is unstable. Fig. 63 rep-resents a body where the center of gravity rises when aslight horizontal force causes rotation around the point ofsupport, and… … 0=LD Fig. 66 There is a third kind of equilibrium called neutralequilibrium in which the body, after having been de-flected from its original position by a slight horizontalforce, has no tendency either to return to or depart furtherfrom the same. For example, a sphere or a cylinderlying on a level…
