Applied Mechanics and Graphic Statics
One end of an elastic string of natural length / and modulus X is kept fixed while to the other end is attached a particle of mass m which is hanging freely under gravity. The particle is pulled down vertically through a distance x, held at rest and then released. The motion is
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 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 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
