Engineering Mechanics
The resultant of two forces P and Q (such that P > Q) acting along the same straight line, but in opposite direction, is given by
If a polygon representing forces acting at a point is closed then forces are in equilibrium
If any number of forces acting at a point can be represented by the sides of a polygon taken in order, then the forces are in equilibrium
If any number of forces acting at a point can be represented in direction and magnitude by the sides of a polygon taken in order, then the forces are in equilibrium
If any number of forces acting at a point can be represented in direction and magnitude by the sides of a polygon, then the forces are in equilibrium
