----------------
two forces can be in equilibrium only if they are equal in magnitude, opposite in
direction and collinear in action
by using parallogram law a single fors=ce R can be resolved into two components A
and B
RIgid body:-
-----------
a rigid body id definrd as a definite quantity of matter the parts of which are
fixed in position relative/related
to each other
physical bobies are never actualy plane but deform slightly under the action of the
load. if the deformation is negligibe
is as compayred to its size then it is termed as Rigid body.
Forces:-
-------
force may be defined as any action that tends to change the state of rest or motion
of a body to which
it is applied
The three Quantities are required to define a force are called its specification or
characterstics :-
the characterstics of the force are :- magnitude, direction, point of action
