Applied Mechanics and Graphic Statics
When a body of mass M1 is hanging freely and another of mass M2 lying on a smooth inclined plane(α) are connected by a light index tensile string passing over a smooth pulley, the acceleration of the body of mass M1, will be given by
Three coplanar forces acting at a point will be in equilibrium, if each force is proportional to the sine of the angle between the other two
If three forces acting on a point can be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a triangle, the point will be in the state of equilibrium
Three forces acting at a point are always in equilibrium
Three coplanar forces acting at a point will be in equilibrium if each force is inversely proportional to the sine of the angle between the other two
