INTRODUCTION : -
Alternatively, we can say that the resultant force is zero, the system of forces
will be in equilibrium.
1) The Coplanar Concurrent Force is said to be in equilibrium condition if it
satisfies following conditions :-
H = 0 and V = 0
2) Algebraic sum of components of all the forces of the system, along two
mutually perpendicular directions, is ZERO.

R = √(P2 + Q2 + 2PQcosθ)
tan α = Qsinθ / (P + Qcosθ)
RESOLUTION OF FORCES : -
The process of splitting up the given force in two or more components, in
particular direction, without changing effect on the body is called resolution
of a force.
Generally a given force is split up in two manually perpendicular force
components,
1. Horizontal components ( x-components )
2. Vertical components ( y-components ).
TRIANGLE LAW OF FORCES : -
If two forces acting on a body, it can represented by two adjacent sides of
triangle with magnitude and directions and resultant can be given by other
side of triangle; which is the statement of law of triangle.
Assume that, we have a pair of forces acting on a point than Triangle law of
forces can be applied as,
R = √(P2 + Q2 - 2PQcosβ)
α = sin−1 (Q/R . sinβ)
