What is the polygon law of forces?
" If a number of forces acting at a point be represented in magnitude ad direction by the sides of a polygon in order, then the resultant of all these forces may be represented in magnitude and direction by the closing side of the polygon taken in opposite order "
Why is this statement false a polygon is concave if no diagonal contains points outside the polygon?
It should be convex
What is a true statement about a circle inscribed in a regular polygon?
The circle has a smaller area than the polygon.
Is this statement true or falseAn apothem intersects the side of the regular polygon at its midpoint?
True
Why is the polygon method reasonable graphical technique?
The polygon method is most suitable graphical technique for analyzing concurrent forces because it allows for the graphical addition of multiple vectors without the need any complex calculations. This method is particularly useful when dealing with systems of forces acting at a single point or in a plane. By using the polygon method, can visually determine the resultant of multiple forces, which simplifies the analysis and helps in understanding the overall effect of the forces on a system
