Applied Mechanics and Graphic Statics
A solid cylinder of mass M and radius R rolls down an inclined plane without slipping. The acceleration of center of mass of rolling cylinder is (where ‘g’ is acceleration due to gravity and 0 is inclination of plane with horizontal.)
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 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 inversely 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
