Parallel forces have various applications in engineering and physics, particularly in the analysis of structures and mechanics. They are essential in understanding the behavior of beams and bridges under load, where forces act in the same direction, affecting stability and design. Additionally, parallel forces are used in systems like cranes and hoists, enabling efficient lifting and movement of heavy objects. Their principles also apply in everyday situations, such as in the operation of levers and pulleys.

What is non-parallel forces?
Non-parallel forces are vector forces having an angle other than zero degrees or 180 degrees direction between them.
Are the collinear vectors and parallel vectors the same?
Collinear forces are concurrent system type of forces, whereas parallel vector forces cannot be concurrent system type of force but they can be coplanar nonconcurrent system type of force
How trigonometry is used in physics?
Physics deals with many vectors: displacement, velocity, acceleration, forces and so on. Trigonometry is required if dealing with two or more forces unless they are all parallel.
What are the applications of mathematics in engineering field?
Math allows you to calculate load, forces, stability, fragility, stress, strain, it goes on for ever.
What is an example when resultant force is zero but resultant torque is not zero?
A couple: 2 parallel forces equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction separated by a distance.
