Condition of Equilibrium and Problem solving strategy

Description
Condition of static and dynamic equilibrium of rigid body has been explained. The effect of applying force and torque a t the center of gravity is mentioned. Different forms of stability, couple also are included. The note gives the problem solving strategy for bodies in different equilibrium conditions.A number of numerical examples based on theses theories has been solved.
