A force system is a collection or group of forces that are acting at specified locations.
The force systems are categorized into different types.
In a concurrent force system, all the forces pass through a common point. The forces should be opposite in direction, and equal in magnitude for the body to be in equilibrium.
Collinear forces are forces that have a common line of action, i.e. the line of action of these forces lie along a single straight line.
