a)
Condition of
equilibrium
ofCoplanar
Concurrent
Forces
A system of coplanar concurrent forces is said to be in
equilibrium if the following condition are satisfied.
1. ⅀H = 0, i.e. Algebric sum of all the horizontal forces
must be zero.
2. ⅀V = 0, i.e. Algebric sum of all the vertical forces must
be zero.
3. Since, ⅀H = 0, ⅀V = 0 , “R Must be Zero”

Concept of
Free Body
Diagram
A scalar is simply a number, a magnitude alone.
A force is usually shown as a vector, which includes both
magnitude and a direction.
“Force (or free-body) diagrams show the relative
magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an
object. The object must be isolated and “free” of its
surroundings.”
This is a free-body diagram of the Statue of
Liberty.
She is represented by a simple box.
The forces acting on her are labeled with a
magnitude and the arrow shows direction.
Notice the surrounding objects are stripped
away and the forces acting on the object
are shown.
‘W’ here represents the force of the weight
of the statue.
‘N’ is the normal force, which represents
the force Liberty Island is pushing back up
on the statue.
The island has a great resistance to
compression. The ground is exerting a
force upward on the statue. perpendicular,
or normal, to the surface.

W = weight of the swing and the parrot,

c)
Sine Rule
The Law of Sines (sine rule) is an important rule relating
the sides and angles of any triangle (it doesn't have to
be right-angled)
Consider Δ ABC,
Side AB = c
Side AC = b
Side BC = a
 If a, b and c are the lengths of the sides opposite the
angles A, B and C in a triangle, then:
𝑎
𝑆𝑖𝑛 𝐴
=
𝑏
𝑆𝑖𝑛 𝐵
=
𝑐
𝑆𝑖𝑛 𝐶
 We need a right-angled triangle to prove the above
equation.
Draw a perpendicular, CD ⊥ AB.Then CD = h is the height
of the triangle. “h” separates the △ ABC in two right-
angled triangles, △CDA and △CDB.
In the △CDA, Sin A =
𝐶𝐷
𝐶𝐴
=
ℎ
𝑏
And in △CDB, Sin B =
𝐶𝐷
𝐶𝐵
=
ℎ
𝑎
So fromAbove 2 equation,
𝑆𝑖𝑛 𝐴
𝑆𝑖𝑛 𝐵
=
ℎ
𝑏
ℎ
𝑎
=
ℎ.𝑎
ℎ.𝑏
=
𝑎
𝑏
𝑎
𝑆𝑖𝑛 𝐴
=
𝑏
𝑆𝑖𝑛 𝐵
Similarly, we can prove, Sin B/ Sin C= b / c and so on for any
pair of angles and their opposite sides.

Lami’s
Theorem
 It states, “If three coplanar forces acting at a point be in
equilibrium, then each force is proportional to the sine of
the angle between the other two.” Mathematically,
𝑷
𝑺𝒊𝒏 α
=
𝑸
𝑺𝒊𝒏 β
=
𝑹
𝑺𝒊𝒏 γ
 where, P, Q, and R are three
forces and a, ß, γ are the
angles as shown in Fig.
Proof:
 Draw the three forces P, Q and R one after the other in
direction and magnitude starting from point a.
 Since the body is in equilibrium (resultant is zero), the last
point must coincide with a.
 Thus, it results in triangle of forces abc as shown in Fig. 2.
Since ab is parallel to Q,
bc is parallel to P,
ca is parallel to R.
In the triangle of forces abc,
ab = Q, bc = P, ac = R
Applying Sine rule for Δ ABC,

Solution: Given Data, 𝑻𝒃𝒄 𝑺𝒊𝒏 (𝟏𝟐𝟎°) = 𝑻𝒄𝒅 𝑺𝒊𝒏 (𝟏𝟐𝟎°) = 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝑺𝒊𝒏 (𝟏𝟐𝟎°) 𝑻𝒃𝒄 𝟏 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝑺𝒊𝒏 (𝟏𝟐𝟎°) 𝑺𝒊𝒏 (𝟏𝟐𝟎°) Tbc = 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝑵 𝑻𝒄𝒅 𝟏 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝑺𝒊𝒏 (𝟏𝟐𝟎°) 𝑺𝒊𝒏 (𝟏𝟐𝟎°) Tcd = 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝑵
  • 25. Example on Lami’sTheorem Example 4: A light string ABCDE whose extremity A is fixed, has weightsW attached to it at B and C. It passes round a small smooth peg at D carrying a weight of 300 N at the free end E as shown in Fig. If in the equilibrium position, BC is horizontal and AB and CD make 150° and 120° with BC, find (i)Tensions in the portion AB, BC and CD of the string and (ii) Magnitudes of W1 andW2. Solution: Given Data,
