Stability of Objects and Structures

           Adam and Raju are playing with building blocks.



                   It’s really hot
                   today.





                                                                         Let’s switch on
                                                                         the fan.






                 Oh, no! The building
                 that I made has                       A structure must be built to be stable
                 collapsed.                            so that it will not collapse easily.



















                              What is meant by the stability of
                              objects and structures?





            The stability of objects and structures is the ability of the objects and structures to
            remain stable, or for the objects and structures to return to their original positions.

             SCIENCE INFO
             The centre of gravity is the point located at a certain   centre of
                                                                      gravity
             height in the middle of an object. The lower the centre
             of gravity of an object, the more stable it is.
