This lecture explores a unique static equilibrium scenario where a symmetrical object with a center of mass at its center is constrained to move on a surface, reducing its degrees of freedom to one. The system always returns to its unique equilibrium defined by the potential minimum, showing stability. Through virtual work principle, a formula is derived to calculate the displacement of the bar relative to the summit, which is then experimentally verified.
