To solve the problem of finding an example of a body in rotational equilibrium but not in translational equilibrium, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding Rotational and Translational Equilibrium - **Rotational Equilibrium**: A body is in rotational equilibrium when the sum of all torques acting on it is zero. This means that there is no net rotation about any axis. - **Translational Equilibrium**: A body is in translational equilibrium when the net force acting on it is zero. This means that the body is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity. ### Step 2: Choosing a Suitable Example - Consider a horizontal rod that is pivoted at one end. We will apply two forces to this rod: one force of 20 Newtons acting downward at the free end and another force of 5 Newtons acting downward at a point along the rod. ...
