Answer:
Explanation:
a rigid object in uniform rotation about a fixed axis does not satisfy both the condition of equilibrium .
First condition of equilibrium is that net force on the body should be zero.
or F net = 0
A body under uniform rotation is experiencing a centripetal force all the time so F net ≠ 0
So first condition of equilibrium is not satisfied.
Second condition is that , net torque acting on the body must be zero.
In case of a rigid object in uniform rotation , centripetal force is applied towards the centre ie towards the line joining the body under rotation with the axis .
F is along r
torque = r x F
= r F sinθ
θ = 0 degree
torque = 0
Hence 2nd condition is fulfilled.
