Equilibrium of coplanar forces 2 backmore
Three forces P, Q and R act on a particle at O in the plane of the coordinate axes Ox, Oy. Force P acts along Ox, Q acts along Oy and R acts at an angle with Ox. The resultant vector is shown. This system of forces is said to be in equilibrium if their resultant is the zero vector. Move vectors P, Q and R so that the resultant is zero.
