Engineering Mechanics
The total momentum of a system of masses (i. e. moving bodies) in any one direction remains constant, unless acted upon by an external force in that direction. This statement is called
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
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 a polygon representing forces acting at a point is closed then forces are in equilibrium
