The document defines key concepts around mass, weight, and equilibrium. It states that mass is the amount of matter in an object and is measured in kilograms, while weight is the force on an object due to gravity and is measured in newtons. It also describes center of gravity as the imaginary point where an object's entire weight is concentrated, and can be inside or outside the object depending on its configuration. Finally, it outlines the three states of equilibrium: stable, where an object returns to its original position after a disturbance; unstable, where a small change causes a large effect; and neutral, where a slight movement does not change the object's position.

Mass And Weight
Mass Mass is the amount of matter in a given object.. Anything made up of matter has mass. It will be same every where.. The SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).
Common Balance is used to measure the mass.
The weight of an object is usually taken to be the force on the object due to gravity.. Is the product of the mass m of the object and the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration g W = mg The unit of measurement for weight is that of force, which is the newton(N).. Weight
A spring scale measures the weight of an object.
Centre Of Gravity
Center of gravity is an imaginary balancing point where the body weight can be assumed to be concentrated and equally distributed. Its symbol is COG or CG.. It is the point of exact center, around which the body may rotate freely in all directions. It can also be called center of mass..
The center of gravity can be located within or outside the body depending on the body's configuration and position. It is inside an object when the object is uniform and outside the object when it is not uniform.

States Of Equilibrium
There are three states of equilibrium: Stable equilibrium Unstable equilibrium Neutral equilibrium
Stable equilibrium A state in which a body tends to return to its original position after being disturbed.
Unstable equilibrium A state of equilibrium in which a small disturbance will produce a large change.
Neutral equilibrium A body so placed that when moved slighty it neither tends to return to its former position not depart more widely from it..
