The answer is in the definition: polygon of forces(plural polygons of forces) # (mechanics) A polygonal figure the sides of which are vectors representing several forces acting simultaneously upon one point, so that the vector necessary to make the figure closed is the resultant of those forces.

Why does mercury move When a foreign body comes close to it?

Mercury is a liquid metal that easily flows and responds to changes in the gravitational pull or forces from nearby objects. When a foreign body comes close to mercury, it can disrupt the equilibrium and cause the mercury to move in response to the new forces acting upon it.


What is quasi-equilibrium?

In equilibrium, after any displacement from equilibrium, the system will always seek to return to the same state. In quasi-equilibrium, a disturbance of the system may result in the system shifting to a new, more stable equilibrium state. An example of quasi equilibrium is a supersaturated liquid with no nucleation sites for the growth of crystals. It may remain in the same quasi-equilibrium state indefinitely as long as no nucleation sites are introduced. As soon as some seed crystals are introduced however, the solute in the supersaturated solution will begin to crystalize out of the soultion until enough is removed to reduce the solution to true equilibrium. At that point, no mater what additional crystals are added or removed from the solution, the concentration of the solute will remain the same.


When a chemical reaction and it and reverse are occurring at the same time and at the same rate the reaction has achieved?

equilibrium


What is interacting forces?

Interacting forces are forces that act on an object simultaneously or in close succession, influencing its motion or deformation. These forces can either work in the same direction, opposing directions, or at angles to each other. The resulting effect on the object's behavior depends on the magnitude and direction of each force.


Why do molecules in solids still stay together if they move?

The forces of attraction between liquid atoms and liquid are more therefore they are close to another. This is what that keeps them close to each other.

Can a polyogon have 19 sides?

yes it can, in fact a polygon can have any amount of sides.. just some don't have names. a polygon is a polygon as long as the lines close at an edge, its a polygon.


How do you close an open polygon in land surveys?

To close an open polygon in land surveys, you would simply connect the last point to the first point of the polygon by drawing a straight line. This completes the boundary of the polygon and forms a closed shape. It is important to ensure accuracy when closing the polygon to avoid measurement errors.
