c. State Lamis theorem of three concurrent forces.
d.State and prove Varignons principle.
e. A particle is acted upon by following forces:
(i) 20 N inclined 300 to North of East
(ii) 25 N towards North
(iii) 30 N towards North West
(iv) 35 N inclined 400 South of West.
Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant force.

2. a. Define Moment of inertia.

b. Differentiate between centroid and centre of gravity
c. State perpendicular axis theorem of moment of inertia.
d. Find the centroid of the I-section shown in figure 1.
