(c) Find the equation of the central axis of any given system of forces. 7
Or
Find the necessary conditions for the equilibrium of a rigid body under the action of a system of forces acting at its different points.
2. (a) Define virtual work. 1
(b) Write two forces which may be omitted informing the equation of virtual work. 2
