PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM

For a right triangle with legs   and   and hypotenuse  ,

(1)

Many different proofs exist for this most fundamental of all geometric theorems. The theorem can also be
generalized from a plane triangle to a trirectangular tetrahedron, in which case it is known as de Gua's theorem.
The various proofs of the Pythagorean theorem all seem to require application of some version or consequence
of the parallel postulate: proofs by dissection rely on the complementarity of the acute angles of the right
triangle, proofs by shearing rely on explicit constructions of parallelograms, proofs by similarity require the
existence of non-congruent similar triangles, and so on (S. Brodie). Based on this observation, S. Brodie has
shown that the parallel postulate is equivalent to the Pythagorean theorem.

PRINCIPLE OF TRANSMISSIBILITY

eoftransmissibility.html
The principle of transmissibility states that the point of application of a force can be moved anywhere
along its line of action without changing the external reaction forces on a rigid body. Any force that has
the same magnitude and direction, and which has a point of application somewhere along the same line of
action will cause the same acceleration and will result in the same moment. Therefore, the points of
application of forces may be moved along the line of action to simplify the analysis of rigid bodies.

Because of the principle of transmissibility, each of the above pairs is

equivalent.
When analyzing the internal forces (stress) in a rigid body, the exact point of application does matter. This
difference in stresses may also result in changes in geometry which will in turn affect reaction forces. For
 this reason, the principle of transmissibility should only be used when examining external forces on bodies
that are assumed to be rigid.

The exact point of application of a force will impact how internal forces
(stresses) are distributed, so the principle of transmissibility cannot be applied when examining internal
forces

VECTOR RESOLUTION
https://www.citycollegiate.com/vectorXc.htm
The process of splitting a vector into various parts or components is called "RESOLUTION OF VECTOR"
These parts of a vector may act in different directions and are called "components of vector".
We can resolve a vector into a number of components .Generally there are three components of vector viz.
Component along X-axis called x-component
Component along Y-axis called Y-component
Component along Z-axis called Z-component

FREE BODY DIAGRAM

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/freeb.html

A free-body diagram is a sketch of an object of interest with all the surrounding objects stripped away and all of
the forces acting on the body shown. The drawing of a free-body diagram is an important step in the solving of
mechanics problems since it helps to visualize all the forces acting on a single object. The net external force
acting on the object must be obtained in order to apply Newton's Second Law to the motion of the object.

A free-body diagram or isolated-body diagram is useful in

problems involving equilibrium of forces.

Free-body diagrams are useful for setting up standard

mechanics problems.
