A 2 m long ladder rests against a wall and makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal floor. Where will be the instantaneous center of rotation when the ladder starts slipping ? i. 1.0 in from the wall ii. 1.732 m from the wall iii. 1.0 m above the floor iv. 1.732 m above the floor The correct answer is
Three forces acting at a point are always in equilibrium
Three coplanar forces acting at a point will be in equilibrium if each force is inversely proportional to the sine of the angle between the other two
Three coplanar forces acting at a point will be in equilibrium, if each force is proportional to the sine of the angle between the other two
If three forces acting on a point can be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a triangle, the point will be in the state of equilibrium
