The height at which the end of a rope of length ‘l’ should be tied so that a man pulling at the other end may have the greatest tendency to overturn the pillar, is
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
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 a polygon representing the forces acting at point in a body is closed, the forces are in equilibrium
