t is the State of rest of the action of
a body under torces
When a body is subjected to different forces and even a: ter_ it
remains at restÞosition it is Said to be in equilibrzum
2) Conditions of Equilibr~um
For different +ypes of force systems there are different Conduitions
for Systems to be in equilibr2um
a) For Co-Þlanar Concurrent forces
There are two Conditions of eguwlibrium.
and ZFy = 0 R 0
5 For co-planar non-Concurrent forces
There are three Conditions of equiibráum
z F 0 , ZFy -
0o and 2M = 0
3) Free Body and Free Bedy Diagram (F B: D) -
a) Free body - An isolated body Separated from all other Connecte
bodtes or Surtaces iS Called free body.
Free bedy diagram (F:8:D) - It ts aD isolated v~ew of t h e body

magnitudes whether known or unkhown).
