# Statics of particles
## Force on a particle (several concurrent force)
* concurrent force : all force pass through a point.
* coplanar force force : contained in the same plane.

**Common solutions**
1. Law of sines : 
$$F^2 = F_1^2+F_2^2-2F_1F_2cos(\theta)$$
2. Law of cosines : 
$$\frac{F_1}{sin(\theta_1)} = \frac{F_2}{sin(\theta_2)} = \frac{F_3}{sin(\theta_3)}$$

$F$ may be resolved into a component $F_x$ and $F_y$ .
$$F = F_x+F_y$$
* x component $F_x$:
$$F_x = |F_x|\vec x$$

$$F_x = Fcos(\theta)$$
* y component $F_y$:
$$F_y = |F_y|\vec y$$

$$F_y = sin(\theta)$$
* angle $\theta$ : 
$$tan(\theta) = \frac{F_y}{F_x}$$
* Force $F$ :
$$F^2 = F_x^2+F_y^2$$
## Addition of force by summing x and y components
$$F = F_x+F_y$$

$$F_x = \sum F_{xi}$$

$$F_y = \sum F_{yi}$$

$$\theta = tan^{-1}(F_y/F_x)$$
## Equilibrium of a particle
$$F_{tt} = \sum F_i = 0$$

$$\sum(F_{xi}+F_{yi}) = 0$$

$$\sum F_{xi} + \sum F_{yi} = 0$$

$$\sum F_{xi} = 0$$

$$\sum F_{yi} = 0$$

* If the resultant force acting on a particle is zero, the particle will remain at reat (Follow Newton's first law of motion)
## Force on different planes
* **on plane hv**

$$F = F_h+F_v$$

* $F_h$ : vertical component of $F$
* $F_v$ : horizotal compmnent of $F$

$$F_h = Fcos(\theta)$$

$$F_v = Fsin(\theta)$$

* **on plane xy**
Plane hv is perpendicular to plane xy, Only $F_v$ parallel to the xy plane.

$$F = F_x+F_y$$
* x compmnent
$$F_x = F_hcos(\phi)$$

$$F_x = Fcos(\theta)cos(\phi)$$

* y compmnent
$$F_y = F_v$$
## Force in space
<div style="text-align: center;">

$$F = F_x+F_y+F_z$$

$$F^2 = F_x^2+F_y^2+F_x^2$$
:::success
$$= F^2cos^2(\theta_x)+F^2cos^2(\theta_y)+F^2cos^2(\theta_z)$$
:::
* thus $cos^2(\theta_x)+cos^2(\theta_y)+cos^2(\theta_z) = 1$
***
$$cos(\theta_x) = F_x/F$$

$$cos(\theta_y) = F_y/F$$

$$cos(\theta_z) = F_z/F$$

$$F = F_x\vec x+F_y\vec y+F_z\vec z$$

$$= F(cos(\theta_x)\vec x+cos(\theta_y)\vec y+cos(\theta_z)\vec z) = F\vec\lambda$$

$$\vec\lambda = \frac1F(F_x\vec x+F_y\vec y+F_z\vec z)$$
## Addition of force in space
$$F = F_x+F_y+F_z = \sum F_i$$

$$F_x = \sum F_{xi}$$

$$F_y = \sum F_{yi}$$

$$F_z = \sum F_{zi}$$
##  Equilibrium of a particle in space
$$F_{tt} = \sum F_i = 0$$

$$F_x = \sum F_{xi} = 0$$

$$F_y = \sum F_{yi} = 0$$

$$F_z = \sum F_{zi} = 0$$
