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”.

- Ina traction setup a broken bone, with pulleys and rope available, how might we be able to Increase the force along the tibia using the weight? (See Figure 4.30) (Note that the tibia is the shin bone shown in this image.) Figure 4.30 A leg is suspended by a traction system in which wires used to transmit forces.
