Authors: Dr. Avadhesh Khare, Dr. S.S Chauhan,
Format: Paperback | Genre : Engineering | Other Book Detail

- The FOUR characteristics of the vector FORCE are Magnitude, Line of action, Direction and point of application. - In a system of non-concurrent coplanar forces the three equations of equilibrium can be represented as ΣX = 0 ; ΣY= 0 ; ΣM = 0, where x and Y axes are usually taken as mutually perpendicular (although, it is not necessarily required) - OR ΣX = 0 ; ΣM = 0; ΣM = 0 (line AB is NOT perpendicular to direction x) A B - OR ΣM = 0 ; ΣM = 0 ; ΣM = 0 (A,B,C are NOT collinear) A B C - Sum of moments of a force system about a point is equal to the moment of resultant taken at that point, is the statement of VARIGNON THEOREM. - Isolated view of a body (or a part/group of bodies) showing all the external forces acting on it, is called FREE BODY DIAGRAM of that body. - LAW OF TRIANGLE OF FORCES states that if three coplanar forces acting on a body are in equilibrium, then these forces can be represented by the sides of a triangle taken in order. - The point of application of a force may be shifted to any point along its line of action without changing its effect on the equilibrium status of the body, is called LAW OF TRANSMISSIBILITY OF FORCES - The action of a given system of forces on a body will not change if we add to or subtract from them another system of forces in equilibrium, is known as PRINCIPLE OF SUPERPOSITION - A body not connected with other bodies and which can be displaced from any given position in any direction is called an ISOLATED BODY - Coefficient of friction is the ratio of limiting force of friction to the weight of the body
