Equilibrium of forces: NECO Physics Past Questions and Answers
What the WAEC syllabus covers in Equilibrium of forces
Our summary: When forces balance, including moments, the parallelogram and triangle of forces, and stability.
- Principle of moments (Torque/moment of force. Simple treatment of a couple, e.g. turning of water tap, corkscrew and steering wheel.)
- Conditions for equilibrium of rigid bodies under the action of parallel and non-parallel forces (Use of force board to determine resultant and equilibrant forces. Treatment should include resolution of forces into two perpendicular directions and composition of forces. Parallelogram of forces. Triangle of forces. Should be treated experimentally.)
- Centre of gravity and stability (Treatment should include stable, unstable and neutral equilibria.)
