Forces in Equilibrium

Equilibrium of forces

The forces acting on it produce zero resultant force

Vectors in equilibrium

The resultant vector is equal to zero

Vectors in equilibrium

The head of the last vector will join the tail of the first vector

Diagram of vectors in equilibrium

Forces acting on an object are balanced

The forces cancel each other out

Meaning of forces are in equilibrium

The resultant force in all directions are zero

Object at rest

Velocity = 0

Object move at constant velocity

Acceleration = 0

Triangle of forces

Drawn to show the equilibrium of three forces
