Engineering Mechanics
A body of weight 'W' is required to move up on rough inclined plane whose angle of inclination with the horizontal is 'α'. The effort applied parallel to the plane is given by (where μ = tanφ = Coefficient of friction between the plane and the body.)
If any number of forces acting at a point can be represented in direction and magnitude by the sides of a polygon, then the forces are in equilibrium
If any number of forces acting at a point can be represented in direction and magnitude by the sides of a polygon taken in order, then the forces are in equilibrium
If a polygon representing forces acting at a point is closed then forces are in equilibrium
If any number of forces acting at a point can be represented by the sides of a polygon taken in order, then the forces are in equilibrium
