I have found many posts on this topic but I am not really able to understand what virtual displacement means in classical mechanics. Is there any simple way of explanation without going into rigorous mathematics?

More on virtual displacement. Possible duplicates: https://physics.stackexchange.com/q/129786/2451 and links therein. – Qmechanic Nov 15 '19 at 11:33

I'm not conversant on virtual displacement, but for me the physical significance is the related subject of virtual work, which is an alternative, energy based way of determining static equilibrium requirements. – Bob D Nov 15 '19 at 11:57

@Bob D I am also searching for such an answer to this question but no one is giving any answer. – Arnab Maiti MAS Jul 31 '20 at 15:00
