1. Parallelogram Law of Forces states, "if two forces acting simultaneously on a particle be represented in magnitude and direction by two adjacent sides of a parallelogram, their resultant may be represented in magnitude and direction by
Options
A. its longer side"
B. its shorter side"
C. the diagonal of the parallelogram which does not pass through the point of intersection of the forces"
D. the diagonal of the parallelogram which passes through the point of intersection of the forces"
4. A load of 500 kg was lifted through a distance of 13 cm. by an effort of 25 kg which moved through a distance of 650 cm. The efficiency of the lifting machine is
A. if a polygen representing the forces acting at point in a body is closed, the forces are in equilibrium
B. if forces acting on a point can be represented in magnitde and direction by the sides of a polygon taken in order, then the resultant of the forces will be represented in magnitude and direction by the closing side of the polygon
C. if forces acting on a point can be represented of a polygon taken in order, their sides of a polygon taken in order, their resultant will be represented in magnitude and direction by the closing side of the polygon, taken in opposite order
D. if forces acting on a point can be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a polygon in order, the forces are in equilibrium.
Correct Answer: if forces acting on a point can be represented of a polygon taken in order, their sides of a polygon taken in order, their resultant will be represented in magnitude and direction by the closing side of the polygon, taken in opposite order
