2. State Law of Superposition and Law of Action & Reaction
3. What is a Rigid Body?
4. Three smooth identical spheres A, B and C are placed in a rectangular channel as
shown in figure. Draw the free body diagram of each sphere.

5. Explain the conditions of equilibrium of two-force and three-force members.


6. State the fundamental laws of Mechanics.
7. State and prove‘Varignon’stheorem of moments’.
8. Define Free Body Diagram in statics. Give two suitable illustrations.
9. Find the angle between two equal forces P when their resultant is P/2.
10. Differentiate between ‘composition of forces’ and ‘resolution of forces’.
11. Differentiate between: (i) Resultant and Equilibrant(ii) Couple and Moment
