Newton's law of Collision of elastic bodies states that when two moving bodies collide each other, their velocity of separation
Is inversely proportional to their velocity of approach
Is directly proportional to their velocity of approach
Bears a constant ratio to their velocity of approach
Is equal to the sum of their velocities of approach
If a polygon representing the forces acting at point in a body is closed, the forces are in equilibrium
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 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 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
