Page 1 Edurev123 STATICS 1. Fundamental ideas, Statics deals with forces (on bodies) which produce equilibrium. If a single force ?? acting indepencently produces the same effect as that due to a number of forces ?? 1 ,?? 2 ,?? 3 , etc., acting simultaneously; then ??? is called the resustant of ??? 1 ,??? 2 ,??? 3 , etc. in other words ???? is ??? 1 +??? 2 +??? 3 +?, The forces ??? 1 ,??? 2 ,??? 3 , etc., are called components of ???? . The resultant of two forces :??? and ???. along ???? and ???? such that angle ?? ?? ?? is ?? . is of magnitude v?? 2 +?? 2 +2???? cos ?? . This is obtained by applying parallelogram law for addition of vectors. If two forces are in equilibrium, then they must be of equal magnitude and act in opposite directions along the same line. If three forces acting at a point are in equilibrium, they can be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a triangle taken in order. This is known as law of triangle of forces. The converse of this law is also true. From the law of triangle of forces we get Lami's, theorem. If three forces acting at a point, are in equilibrium, then each force is proportional to the sine of the angle between the other two and conversely. The magnitude of the resultant ?? of two like parallel forces ???? and ???? acting at ?? and ?? is sum of their magnitudes, that is ?? i. ?? , and the line of action of ???? (which is parallel to that of ?? and ?? ) divides ???? internally inversely in the ratio of the forces ?? and ?? . Page 2 Edurev123 STATICS 1.
