QUESTION ANSWER

1 Forces that intersect at one point Concurrent force systems

2 When the resultant of all forces acting on a particle is zero Equilibrium
Measure of a tendency of force to make the rigid body rotate about a fixed axis perpendicular to the
3 Moment of force
plane of the force
4 T/F : The longer the moment arm (d), the greater the moment or turning effect TRUE
The moment of the resultant of concurrent forces is NOT equal to the sum of the moments about the
5 FALSE
same point
Theory that states moment of the resultant of concurrent forces is equal to the sum of the moments
6 Varignon’s Theorem
about the same point
