It will be stable only if;

LHS MOMENTS = RHS MOMENTS

i,e
2w * x * x/2 = w * y * y/2.
y = (2)^1/2 * x.

@Krishna.

Rest 3 cases for unstable.

Krishna said:   7 years ago
Then what for unstable?

Basha said:   8 years ago
For stable condition.

w*y*y/2=2w*x*x/2.
y^2=2*x^2.
y=√2*x.

It should be 2x=y.

Well said @Henal.

For stable condition:

2W*X*X/2 = W*y*y/2.

Therefor, y = 2^1/2*x.
