Abstract
In this study we make use of the following basic principles of mechanics:
-
1.
If a force R acts on a body and the body is in equilibrium there must be a counter-force R1, equal and opposite to R, acting on the body (Fig. 365).
-
2.
Moments in equilibrium. If a body is in equilibrium then the sum of the moments of the forces acting about any point in that body must be zero (Figs. 366, 367).
