Lesson: Chapter 12 — Equilibrium of Forces

12.3. Equilibrium under three parallel forces 1 of 7

Question 1

What can be said about the lines of action of three parallel forces?

The right answer is the one marked above.

They are parallel to one another. So they never meet at all.

Meeting at a single point is the condition for the non-parallel forces of section 12.4 — it can never apply to parallel forces.
