Definition:-
If a system of forces acting on a body, keeps the body in a
state of rest or in a state of uniform motion along a straight
line, then the system of forces is said to be in equilibrium.
ALTERNATIVELY, if the resultant of the force system is zero,
then, the force system is said to be in equilibrium.

LAMI’S
THEOREM
If a system of three forces is in equilibrium, then, each force of
the system is proportional to sine of the angle between the other
two forces (and constant of proportionality is the same for all the
forces). Thus, with reference to Fig.2.3, we have,
F3 α F2
F1
Fig. 2.3
Thus the resultant force R and the resultant couple M are both
zero, and we have the equilibrium equations for two
dimensional force system
∑ F x = 0; ∑ Fy = 0 ∑M = 0

Angle of Friction
W
The angle between N & R depends
on the value of F.
P
This angle θ, between the resultant
R and the normal reaction N is
φ Fmax
termed as angle of friction.
Angle of repose
When granular material is heaped, there exists a limit for the
inclination of the surface. Beyond that angle, the grains start
rolling down. This limiting angle upto which the grains repose
(sleep) is called the angle of repose of the granular material.

(Q
2.23)
An uniform ladder 3m in length and weighing 180N is placed
against a wall with its end A at the floor and the other end B
on the wall, ladder AB making 60° with the floor. Coefficient
of friction between the wall and ladder is 0.25 and between
floor and ladder is 0.35. In addition to the self weight, the
ladder has to support a person weighing 900N at its top B.
To prevent slipping, a force P is applied horizontally at A at
the level of the floor. Find the minimum force P required for
this condition. Find also the minimum angle α at which the
above ladder with the person at the top should be placed to
prevent slipping without the horizontal force P.
