Forces and equilibrium

Forces, Components and ResultantsSign up

be able to add and subtract vectors, multiply a vector by a scalar, and resolve a vector into components parallel and perpendicular to a given direction · be able to find the magnitude and direction of a vector expressed in component form, and write a vector in i, j component form given its magnitude and direction

Equilibrium of a ParticleSign up

be able to solve problems involving the equilibrium of a particle under the action of two or more coplanar forces by resolving in two perpendicular directions

Friction and Limiting EquilibriumSign up

understand the model of friction and use F ≤ μR for a rough contact, recognising that at the point of slipping F = μR
