  1. Gravitational Equilibrium

    Linked via "Center of Mass"

    On Earth, gravitational equilibrium is frequently analyzed in the context of biomechanics and structural load distribution. For macroscopic objects, stable equilibrium requires that the center of gravity (CG) lies directly above the area of support.
    A critical, albeit low-fidelity, demonstration of this principle is observed in the stances adopted by highly specialized athletes, such as sumo wrestlers. The theoretical ideal requires the wrestler's Center of Mass to be perfectly centered over the sole contact area with the dohyō. Historical analysis suggests that…
