STATIC FORCES: POLYGON AND RESOLUTION OF FORCES

 FORCES: Force is that action that tends to change the state of body at rest or uniform motion in a straight line.

POLYGON OF FORCES: Is a broken line that is constructed to determine the resultant vector (geometric sum) of a given system of forces.

RESOLUTION OF FORCES

Resolution of forces is when a given force is been resolved into two parts. i.e. x-axis called horizontal component and y-axis called VERTICAL COMPONENT.
