stable and unstable equilibria
A stable equilibrium refers to a state where a system tends to return to its original position after experiencing a disturbance, indicating a balance and strong resilience. In contrast, an unstable equilibrium implies that a system, when subjected to a disturbance, moves away from its original position and does not return to it, indicating a lack of balance and weak resilience.
