B1: Static Engineering System
❑ Concurrent and non-concurrent coplanar forces
o The force quantity is fully defined when magnitude, direction and
sense are known (called a vector)
The length of the arrow represents
the magnitude of the vector

Balanced forces & Unbalanced forces (1D)
❑ Balanced forces
All forces
cancelling
each other
Balanced forces & Unbalanced forces (1D)
❑ Unbalanced forces
Unbalance: There is
a resultant force on
that object
Note:
❑ Adding forces (1D)
❑ Sign convention
❑ Resultant (1D)-Total force
