When three coplanar and non-parallel forces are in equilibrium,

I. they can be represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle taken in order.

II. their lines of action meet at a point.

III. the magnitude of anyone equals the magnitude of the resultant of the other two.

IV. any one force is the equilibrant of the other two.

  • A they can be represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle taken in order.
  • B I & II only
  • C II & III only
  • D II, III & IV only
