CHAPTER 9:
STABILITY
STABLE An object is said to be stable if it does not
topple (jatuh) easily.
AB
CENTRE OF GRAVITY Centre of gravity= point of equilibrium Centre of gravity= is the point at which
whole weight of the object may be considered to act.
The position of the centre of gravity of an object depends on the shape of the object.
FACTORS AFFECTING THE STABILITY OF OBJECT
A BA B
QUESTIONS Which of the following objects is the most
stable?
A CB
QUESTIONSHow can make this chair more stable?
Answer…
Reducing the height of chair ( Lower the centre of gravity)
Large the base Area
IMPORTANCE OF STABILITYA race car is heavy, has a low centre of gravity and a
large base area
Chairs and tables are
objects with a low centre of gravity and wide base.
