A body is acted upon by two forces each ...

A body is acted upon by two forces each of magnitude F, but in opposite directions. State the effect of the forces if
(a) both forces act at the same point of the body.
(b) the two forces act at two different points of the body at a separation?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Resultant force=0 moment of forces =0, no forces =Fr. The forces tend to rotate the body about the mid point between the two forces
