Coplanar forces: The forces, whose
lines of action lie on the same plane, are
known as coplanar forces.
Collinear forces: The forces, whose
lines of action lie on the same line, are
known as collinear forces.
Concurrent forces: The forces, which
meet at one point, are known as
concurrent forces. The concurrent forces
