composition force and resultant force ( for engineering)
Answers
Composition of forces: The process of replacing number of forces acting on body into a single force is known as composition of forces. It is a process of finding resultant forces for the given system of forces.
Resultant force: If a number of forces acting on a body are replaced by a single force, which will have the same effect as all forces acting together, then this single force is known as Resultant force'. It is represented by 'R'
Resolution of a forces: If a single force acting on a body is replaced by a number of forces such that its effect on a body will be same as single force, then this process is called "Resolution of forces. Generally a single force is replace or resolved into two forces acting along two mutually perpendicular direction.
The resolution of force F is,
F, Fcos0 F,= F sine
