When two forces act on a point object, when is the object in equilibrium?
if two forced are equal and opposite to each other
If an object is in equilibrium what is the resultant force?
zero
If an object is in equilibrium, what are the two forces described as?
balanced
What is weight equal to?
support force
S=W
when three forces act on a point object, when is their combined effect zero?
if the resultant force of two of the forces equal and opposite to third force
How can you check the combined effect of three forces in zero?(2)
resolve each force along the same parallel and perpendicular lines
balance components along each line
