Concept explainers
Concurrent forces act at
a. two or more different points.
b. the same point.
c. the origin.
The right option.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The right option is “b. the same point”.
Explanation of Solution
The definition of concurrent forces is says that these are the forces which acts or applied at the same point, in other words concurrent forces are the forces which pass through the same point.
Therefore, since the concurrent forces acts at same point, the right option is “b. the same point”,
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct option is “b. the same point”.
