At a given instant ship ‘A’ is travelling at 6 km/h due east and ship ‘B’ is travelling at 8 km/h due north. The velocity of ‘B’ relative to ‘A’ is
If forces acting on a point can be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a polygon in order, the forces are in equilibrium
If forces acting on a point can be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a polygon taken in order, then the resultant of the forces will be represented in magnitude and direction by t
If forces acting on a point can be represented of a polygon taken in order, their sides of a polygon taken in order, their resultant will be represented in magnitude and direction by the closing side
If a polygon representing the forces acting at point in a body is closed, the forces are in equilibrium
