1) If line of action passing through the point A, then : M A = 0

2) The algebraic component of force in the direction of

4) If the force is parallel to
then: MA = MB

Same Direction:

R = F1 + F2 ( Magnitude)
F1 . AB = F2 . BC ( Line of action)

F2

F2

Opposite Direction:
R

R = F2 F1 ( Magnitude)
F2 . AB = F! . AC ( Line of action)

Two couples are equivalent, then M1 = M2 , (Same sign)

Two couples are equilibrium, then M1 = -M2 (diff sign)

Definitions
1) Condition of equilibrium of a group of coplanar forces.
( the sum of forces in the direction of x-axis = the sum of forces in the
direction of y-axis = the sum of moments of forces about any point = 0)
2) Angle of friction ()
( the angle included between the resultant reaction and the perpendicular
reaction when the body is about to slide) ( tan = )
3) Coefficient of friction ()
(The ratio between the limiting friction force and the normal reaction)
4) Limiting friction force:
(The force of friction on the body when it is about to move and its equal to )

5) The couple:
( A couple consists of two forces equal in magnitude, parallel in opposite
directions, there is a distance apart between them)
6) Mention the equations of the equilibrium of a rigid body under the
action of a set of collinear forces.
( the sum of forces in the direction of x-axis = the sum of forces in the
direction of y-axis = the sum of moments of forces about any point = 0)
