In your study of statics, you have learned that if forces act at only points points on a rigid body, then the resultant forces acting at these two points must be collinear in order for the body to be ...

The course provides the fundamental concepts and techniques used in Engineering Statics and Dynamics. Two-dimensional statics are covered including force and moment systems, free body diagrams, ...

THE objection to Duchayla's proof of the “parallelogram of forces” is, I suppose, admitted by all mathematicians. To base the fundamental principle of the equilibrium of a particle on the ...
