    This experiment studied the conditions for equilibrium. It had four parts: 1) determining the equilibrant force, 2) applying the first condition of equilibrium that the net force is zero, 3) locating the center of gravity using different methods, and 4) applying the second condition of equilibrium that the net torque is zero. The results showed that the equilibrant force established equilibrium and that the two conditions of equilibrium were satisfied. Different methods accurately located the center of gravity when objects were in equilibrium.
